Books 'n' Flowers 'n' ....Life Jackets?

Lovely Margot at http://joyfullyretired.com/ sent the ARC Spinning Forward by Terri Dulong. Thanks to Margot for what appears to be a fun read!
I've finished filing the pots on our deck starting with this so pretty George & Martha geranium sharing a pot with a Dusty Miller and Bacopa.
Petunias and violas are such a colorful combination along with a few other small plants along the railing of the deck.

For accent, we have...life jackets!! So, we bought a larger pontoon this spring. The seller told us he left the life jackets on the boat for us. OK, that was very nice. We thanked him. As we cleaned the pontoon the other day, I opened the storage bins under the seats and began tossing the jackets onto the lawn. DH carried the heap to the corner patio in the back yard.

Twenty! There were 20 life jackets of every size, style, and color on that boat! All these in addition to the ones we already have!
Most of them will be donated to our church garage sale, although my hair dresser asked me for one to fit her 3-year-old nephew. Comin' right up!!

Your flowers look beautiful! I love doing container gardening with bacopa. It's such a great plant.

You won't ever run out of life jackets, that's for sure. I hope you enjoy the book - isn't Margot wonderful!
