Flower Power or Blighted Blooms?

My sister has a blog, and she's posted pictures of her flower garden(s). She has a green thumb and plants are obviously thriving at her house, in spite of the southeast U.S. region-wide drought. So, I thought I'd post pictures of my flowers, too. Once I figure out how to post a link to her blog like she's done to mine (hey, I'm a little older... it takes more time to get the old brain to comprehend new things), you can compare pictures and decide for yourself who's the born gardener in the family. (Next time, maybe we'll talk about quilting.)














The yellow flowers are in a hanging basket off my screened porch. The only reason there are any flowers there at all is because they somehow miraculously survived the winter. Well, at least half of them did. The long planter that looks like grass is planted with .... grass! It's actually Kitty Grass, a particular species of wheat that we feed to the Blinky cat. Finally, the orange flowers (I don't even know what they are) are in two matching pots on the front porch. Maybe if and when they get a bit bigger they won't look so ridiculous. Since we, too, have drought-induced watering restrictions, I save the cold water that comes out of the hot spigot before it gets hot to use on my extensive "garden."

GOODY: It's my Friday even though it's Thursday. Sometimes, I have already worked 40 hours Monday - Thursday, and if not, then I work a few hours at home on Friday and/or Saturday. I'm not doing any work this weekend, though, because I worked seven hours on Memorial Day.
