Teal for TN

This is one of the two identical pots I rescued from the strangling grasp of the morning glory.  I love the pots as is, but wanted to create just one thing that represented TN/GPN.

I bought some "Teal for TN" gloves for the rest of my yard projects.  I pretty much thrashed the other gloves I was using to clear out that corner.

The branches I de-strangled from the morning glory came in handy for this part of the project, and for the red boxes.

If I make it to Heaven, I want to request watching a replay of the look on my friend/neighbor's face when I hauled these dead tree branches into my house. 

My family was out of town.  I was getting away with all sorts of bad behavior.  Branches in the house, dirty socks on the table, piles of stickers left everywhere.  All of which got cleaned up and sanitized before they got home.  I decided it's a good thing I don't live alone!

  I cut the branches into twigs.....

And used rocks from the rock pile.....

To put at the bottom of my new "Teal for TN" flower pots for drainage.  Since these flower pots are dedicated to the Trigeminal Neuralgia name, I thought it would be appropriate to put a HOT POKER plant right in the center of the pot :).  I can't wait until they bloom!

Someday I will find a good home for everything and that all of this will make sense.

After all the planting and potting was finished, I had leftover flowers and soil.  I dug my small pots out of the garage and used them for the leftover flowers.  Not really having another place to put them, I lined them going up our front steps.....

Which was a bit of a fail because the pots keep getting knocked over, haha.  I need to find a different place for these that isn't in the children's playground.
