Wanna see what putt~er~ing looks like in my neck of the woods?



Any self respecting day of puttering must include festooning your pots with burlap...


Don't you agree?



And securing it with clothespins that you paint with polka dots...

I'm just saying...


I am notorious for leaving the hose here and there and everywhere...

I'm a busy, busy puttering fool...I don't have time for such details...


Have you heard...burlap is the new must~have...all the best dressed pots are
wearing burlap this Fall...


Moving right along...

I found time to paint some up~side~down tomato cage toppers...


My daughter and I agreed that it looks a tad Halloween~ish...

But what the who~ha...if trick~or~treaters come to our door today...it will be
some "trick" finding candy in our cupboards....
I guess I could offer some hot dogs...or maybe a paint brush stealing dog...

Once again...I'm just saying.


And no afternoon of puttering would be complete without painting our
street address on a drop~cloth pillow case....


PUTT~ER~ING GONE WILD!


Chicken feet!


Still!



I hope that you are enjoying many puttering filled Summer
afternoons.

Smiles ~ Ramona

Oh my gosh Ramona I LOVE your summer day. Though, I could definitely do without the spider incident...YIKES! I LOVE all your burlap around your pots and the black looks GREAT. Also your topper is WONDERFUL! I LOVE, LOVE, L.O.V.E. the address burlap pillow.....TOO CUTE!!!♥

Is your son still home? If so I bet you all are enjoying every moment you can with him.

Thanks you just reminded me that I wanted to copy cat your boxwoods in pots! I love the burlap too. You are such a great putterer.

Morning Ramona,

Lexi drew your name in my magazine giveaway....YAY!! I squealed with delight when she showed me your name!! Anyway, I definitely already have your address, so unless you want it to go to someone else that is where I will send it. Just drop me a quick line and let me know.♥
