We've been wanting to move these huge planter boxes forEVAH. They are lovely, but we can't sit and watch the kids in the pool from the cool comfort of the shady lanai because of them.
Finally on Friday, Tyson and the gang came over to move them. Here they are, that am.
After they've gone. Everything seems SO much more open! But we can't leave it like that. Kids could purl off of the edge
GB and I spent 3 hours at Home Depot shopping for planters to go there. We brought back a bunch of stuff. Here we're laying out some red pots and some whitish planters.
Stand back and look..... hmmmm.... not sure if we like this.
Fortunately we also had Lena there helping. She and GB were chatting about what to do and GB remembered that we have a TON of terra cotta pots that he brought back from Thailand.
Much Better!
Here it is.... almost done! We had bought way more plants than we needed. Looks great!
Cora helped too! She planted petunias in these planters that already have stuff in them
Voila!
Planters in their new locale.... waiting to be filled (that's a future project- there are humongous!)
And... our 1st Ruby Red Grapefruit!!! This tree was a gift from the Biermans for our housewarming, last October 2008. Young tree produced 5 grapefruit. this one was juicy and ONO!
