Sunny Day!!! (finally!)

Woooo hooooooo!  The sun came out in MA today finally after a week of clouds and rain.  I was so VERY happy!

Got up early to head to NAttleboro.  Last Saturday on my scrapbook shopping trip my brother and I found the perfect lawn ornament for my Mom.  Uncle Sam!!  My Mom loves all things Patriotic and we knew she would love it!!  The woman said she could have Uncle Sam ready for us before the Fourth of July and she did!  Mom LOVES it !!!!!

She kind've has a Patriotic theme going on in the backyard this year.  That big star has faded a bit, but I like the look.  

More patriotic theme

I was back and in the sun before 10:30.  Did NOT want to waste any precious sunshine being in the car or being inside, because who knows how long the sun is sticking around for!!

Right, because at about 3:30 a huge dark cloud covered the sky and then there was more rain and thunder!

But before the rain spoiled my time outside I took a few more photos.

Back in May my Mom and I took a container garden workshop and planted 5 little plants each in 2 matching planters.  This is the one I did and it's getting BIG!

Container class

We have a bench on our patio with two planters on either side of it.  I swear with all the rain the yellow and pink flowers got a little faded, but they still look pretty today!
