I always enjoy these two blogs. Make sure you check them out. Leave a comment and also visit the other creative people who have posted.
After posting about memes tongue in cheek for the last two days I have decided to behave myself today and play nice. Not that I didn't follow the criteria for the Monday and Tuesday, I did have a mosaic and 3 or more of something.

I am doing a combination post for Outdoor Wednesday and What's On Your Wall Wednesday. I went outside and photographed two things that are on my walls.
The first is this Sun and Moon medallion we brought back from Mexico several years ago. It has kept it's exact colours all this time. I wasn't sure it would. The planter in front of that was bought at Restoration Hardware in Vancouver. I have planted it with Lobelia and 3 Fushias. It usually fills in nicely draping down the front. This is where the bee's nest was hanging a couple of weeks ago. This wall faces our big back deck.

I bought this wall hanger at the grocery store. It is crackling up nicely looking old and weathered. It is in complete shade on my upper deck that is right off my French doors and dining room. The pots it holds are not very big and I usually forget to water it at some point in the summer and they die. Oops. This year there is Impatiens and Lobelia.
This last planter is a Victorian style I think. It gets about half and half sun and shade. By mid summer it will be overflowing with plants. Right now there are Tuberous Begonias, Lobelia, Impatiens, Sweet Peas, and a few others I can't think of right now. I just keep packing stuff in there. One Fall I tossed a giant sunflower head on top in the fall for the birds and every year I get a volunteer sunflower plant to pot up.
While outside today with one of my sons we stopped what we were doing to look at the tiny little bird no more that 3 feet away from us trying to get a drink from my little water feature. I had just adjusted the pump and the water was trickling loudly and I guess that is what attracted him. He couldn't find a perch to have a drink from though and he finally left. I will make sure there is a ledge for the birdies when I finish setting up.
