To me, making a house a home is having flowers all around the yard. So, the first thing I did was to hang the 8 geranium plants I had been collecting in anticipation of buying 314 from the front porch. The wraparound porch has two rows of gingerbread trim so what better setting for red geraniums to hang from? The next day I planted impatiens in the garden in front of the house. They should grow up nice in the next few months and make a colorful show from the street. With the help of Mr. B. we hung a kitty kat flag I bought from a porch post and put up the house number plaques from Mighty Dollar for only a dollar each. They are so cute on the entry step post. I put a new entrance mat at the front door and "instant hominess". One of my first tasks next week will be to paint the front door black and the transoms around it white. I will look forward to that. Our current home is not seen from the road so no one ever sees my garden creations but now our lovely home improvements will be seen by all who pass by. They might even get a glimpse of me out in the yard in my grubbies working away.
