Tuesday Tidings

Good evening from a balmy lovely evening here in Michigan..I am inside tonight instead of outside in the swing. Tuesday night is one night I have a program I "have" to see on tv.. I love to watch the Biggest Loser and tonight is the finale for this season and it's been a great one!! (I just wished it motivated me a bit more!!) I have enjoyed today..worked outside some, did some laundry, put together 12 new solar lights for around the deck..(our old ones refused to "shine" even with new rechargeable batteries !!) Fred has kept busy making more bench planters..we have orders for 2 so he is working on those.
Yesterday after I planted most of my planters I walked around the yard and took some photos of a variety of my flowers, planters etc. so I am going to close my blog with a few of the photos...it's been wonderful being able to be outside and enjoying the flowers and the beautiful weather..

Believe it or not the tall black plant is a hot pepper plant called black pearl..

This is a barrel 'full' of impatiens just planted and will literally overflow the barrel as they grow!!


This is the same clematis that I posted a photo of earlier but now out in full bloom..


And one more...my gerbera daisy!! I love them!!!

Align Left Hope I didn't overdo the photos...Have a wonderful evening..

Hi Alice! You could never post too many photos! Ever! What a neat plant - the chlli pepper one??? I think that's what it was called. It was neat interesting looking. I liked it. Does it actually grow peppers?

Thank you for the sweet comment at my blog Alice. That really touched my heart & encouraged me. I feel that most days my blog is a total bore to others, but I do it because I love it & want to record our days. You REALLY encouraged me. Your sweetness brought tears to my eyes. I love you!

I've never watched The Biggest Loser, but have wanted to. I guess I always forget that it's on. I would imagine that it's encouraging.

Have a blessed evening & week Alice. Off to read your SWD now. Hugs!

Judy..the pepper plant was just called Black Pearl Ornamental pepper but then it said underneath the name..peppers are very hot..and you can see some black 'thingys' starting to form..Fred loves hot seasoning so I'll try them out on him.
Tonight was the finale for Biggest loser and it was awesome..you can always watch them online..(in your spare time!!) LOL
Many blessings Judy..keep up the good work on your blog!!

I live the church pot! The pepper plant is very interesting looking. I'm curious to know what they are like. How do you take care of it?

The pepper plant is definitely an annual..just said it liked sun/partial shade and well drained soil and could be planted in a pot or in the ground..so far it's doing well!! LOL
