Blue Monday, In the Garden




Blue Monday is hosted by Sally at smilingsally's blog just click on the title and away you go. HAPPY BLUE MONDAY!!!!!!!!!


Today it was a warm day that left me wishing that I could get out into the garden and dig in the dirt, get my hands dirty and smell the fresh soil. Since any time spent in the garden is therapy for me I decided to walk around my garden and sneak a few minutes of garden pleasure. I noticed some of the early plants (bulbs) beginning to break the soil, that is a good thing, but the clean-up I need to do is so over powering. The fish pond is so murky, the outdoor furniture needs a coat of paint, the compost is ready to be distributed and the list goes on and on. Every year I start with the feeling of, can I do this?, but once I start, I love every minute of my time in garden. This year I plan to expand my vegetable growing area, with the economic problems we have in this country any thing you can do to cut cost is worth the effort.

Blue Monday

Today is Blue Monday and since I love blue and white dishes I'm posting some of the ones I have on display. Some I have collect for years and from all sorts of places.


Blue and White plates that I have collected for many years. The blue bowl was purchased from the 99 cent store in Ca.

The top of my corner cupboard I have decorated with blue and white items.


This is a photo I found on Flickr--not my dish, but I like it.

This a photo of a blue pot I have in my front garden. I look forward to visiting the rest of the Blue Monday posts. Have a great week and smile it is contagious.
