Happy greenhouse times

This is going to be a photo heavy post, just telling you up front. Because today was photo worthy.

So after I blogged to you last, Kels, Karol and I headed to pick out some flowers for the front flower beds that we are creating tomorrow as well as the vegetables for Kels's box garden that Dave just put in on the side of the house. We went to three different places before we found everything we wanted. (We still will have to go back to pick up the hydrangeas once the ground has been tilled and large stones removed from the backyard.) But it was a beautiful day, and we found some lovely plants. My contributions to deciding what plants to get yielded us purchasing Swiss chard for the garden, orange zinnias, and some small blueish flower that didn't have a recognizable name. (The hydrangeas are going to be my big project. Kels is in charge of the front flower beds and garden while I'm in charge of the back flower beds. Kind of, at least.) Anyways, it was beautiful in the greenhouses...

^^^We will probably get the latter two hydrangea plants

Kels and I had a mini photo shoot when we got back and brought all the plants in the house. (There's a frost warning, you know.) So here are some of the bests from that...

Once our plants were safe and Dexter fed and watered, we headed to IKEA to get garden furniture. We ended up finding a table to replace the one that is currently outside (and badly in need of replacement), and it came with two chairs. At Meijer, we found a outdoor wicker couch, and at Wal-Mart, we found two outdoor wicker end tables that we figure can also function as foot stools or a coffee table type thing. Pictures will come as soon as the back yard gets set up. (That's my project for tomorrow as Kelsey is planting, hopefully.) Anyhow, a miraculous thing that I found on this trip:

Healthy, affordable aloe plants!! I'm going to repot them into these pots tomorrow. Mom, decide which pot you would like, and I will bring your plant home to you on Sunday! This may have been my most exciting find of the day. All in all, a long day, but a good day. Now to bed because tomorrow is going to be a big, good day, too!!
