Happy as a bee in a pasture of clover

There are a couple of very good reasons why I did not write anything on Keewee's Garden yesterday. First of all, I was scheduled to work two shifts during the day, second, I just had to go to an estate sale early in the morning before my first shift. The estate sale was of the possessions of one of my former clients, and I was hoping to buy a lovely statue for my garden.

Here she is, Quan Yin She now belongs to me, along with some other wonderful treasures I could not leave behind.

I also noticed, still sitting on the front deck, these two planters. I asked the person who was running the estate sale if they were for sale. She said she had overlooked them, so I asked her what she would sell them to me for, she replied $10. They are now mine too.

I think I told you once before, that my car has a tendency to pull into the garden center car park, all on it's own, and by golly, it did just that. I was compelled to buy flowers, herbs and heathers to fill these two pots.

I ran out of steam last night, so bright and early this morning I planted the flowers.

In this pot are, Mariposa, peach shades of Pansies, Kramers Rote, a Heather with vibrant magenta flowers, and Helichrysum, a dwarf Curry plant.

Here are, pink shades of pansies, Spring Torch, a Heather with Magenta flowers, and another curry plant. The curry plant has lovely silvery-white foliage, the fragrance and flavor of curry, and the yellow flowers of this plant dry well, so I will have some pretty dried flowers to work with during the cold winter months.
