For my birthday, Greg likes to pull out the trump card: flowers—and lots of them. We spend a lot of time on our front porch. I noticed the old flowers were having trouble along our front walkway due to poor soil conditions. Greg dug out the whole bed and replaced it with compost, peat moss, and more impatiens. Now, that’s a great gift!

Happy Birthday, Amy!
It’s my birthday, too, although I have a few years’ experience on you… =)
My husband is breaking out the flowers as well. Since we have nowhere to plant them at present, mine will be in a vase. =)
Enjoy your special day!!
Blessings,

Gorgeous! A front porch is so wonderful. In my neighborhood, people don’t have front porches, but they sit in lawn chairs in front of their open garages. They are crying out for a porch! I’m glad you use yours.

Happy Birthday to you too, Brenda! It’s in the 70’s here; hope you’re not freezing.

Happy Birthday Amy!!!! You are one young wise woman.
I wish I could sit on that beautiful porch of yours, sip an (unsweetened) iced tea and watch many happy children play in your grass. How’s that for inviting myself over….
Have a wonderful day!

We still have snow on the ground here in our part of the Midwest. Although I was driving through campus today and noticed the students weren’t wearing coats even though it was 40 degrees. That is more a sign of spring than anything else.
We were just talking today how it would be a perfect time to visit my sister in Tamps. Your pictures make me want to call her and set up a visit soon!

Happy Birthday, Amy! I didn’t realize you were so young! Your wisdom makes you seem like you have at least a few more years under your belt.
