Outdoor Pots of Flowers

Going through old photographs, I came across this one from 1999, of me sitting on the front steps of our house, surrounded by pots of plants...

I especially like the colorful geraniums.

That was a year or two before our renovation, that changed the look of the front of our house.

I haven't had potted plants outdoors for years... I didn't want to have to worry about watering them if Terry and I went away for a few days here and there...

But this year, it doesn't look like we're traveling far!

In those days, when cooler fall weather came, I'd take the plants to school, where I had large sunny windows in my classroom. I'd let them winter, then put them outdoors the following spring.
