My House is a Very Fine House

... with two cats in the sunroom ... sing it with me!

Sorry.

I do really love my house, though. Ray did an excellent job in picking it out :)

ANYway, I think I finally have annual flowers figured out. Last year, I planted petunias in the front yard by the driveway. I watered them well at the beginning of the summer, but then I thought they were "established" and I didn't have to water them as much. And then they died. :(

I have come to the realization that annuals need to be watered frequently through the entire summer. If you do that, by August a couple of tiny plants will look like this:


And your driveway will look like this:


And every time you pull out of your garage, you will smile at the beautiful flowers :)
