Back Up

Yes, I've been lazy, playing, uninspired in blog material on a hiatus from blogging.  This time of year I just want to be outside ALL the time.... so when I'm inside, I'm trying to catch up.
So hoping I haven't lost all my followers... I'm back up!
You know I love to share photos and there didn't seem to be one to go with this until I thought about "backing up."
 But then I realized that I have a "back up" item....  When I back out of the garage and angle so as not to hit my hubby's car, I use this in my rearview mirror to gauge how far I can go.  Taken about a month ago, this photo is shortly after I planted these.

As you can see, I don't have a lot of wiggle room...

 I decided it needed a little contrast color, so I added the sweet potato vine... which has taken over!

My backup planter has a "buddy".. it is last year's backup planter.   But it was a little too low to the ground (see the dent on the top middle?  guess how it got there!)

Now if I can just stay inside enough over the next few days, I'll be "back up" on blogging (please, keep coming back, but don't give up on me if it takes a few days....)  Blueberry picking tomorrow!

Hi Sandy,
I had to laugh when I read this post - remember the time I didn't use my rearview mirror at your house and ended up in the ditch? Thank goodness for AAA, hehe!
