Monday Musings - Perfect Potted Plants



Well, we had another visit to the hospital emergency dept this weekend when Ross, our 13 year old son, managed to break 3 bones in his foot. We put him to bed with his newly fitted fracture boot and his phone next to him with instructions to phone if he couldn't sleep or was uncomfortable, as his room is quite far from ours. I lost count of the number of times he phoned last night! So I am not going to add any commentary to this post because I am too tired to really think of anything to say, other than I wish I had greener fingers!




























Have a good week.

Till next time.

    I really do think that boys come with an instinct for breaking bones...girls not so much;) Hope your son sleeps better tonight(you!). Beautiful shots Sharon; I just wish that my local flower shop sold lovely topiaries like the ones you showed. Take care!

    Sharon...I was so into the beauty of these images that I didn't read your post. When I went back to pin I read about your son...Shoot, sorry about that. Hope he is OK and hope you get some sleep!

    Sharon,

    I am so sorry to hear about your son. I've been there many times! When they are infants ..we don't sleep, and then it happens again when they are in their teens!

    As always, beautiful images! I like all these neutrals, the patina, and the pops of green.

    What a gorgeous post -I love potted plants like these. So sorry to hear about your son though...I guess that is life with boys, eh? :) We had a recent trip to the ER too - they aren't fun!

    Poor Ross, Poor Sharon, I hope you all can rest comfortably tonight. I've had my share of broken bones and they'll heal. Loved this beautiful post and have you ever noticed a room doesn't look finished until it has a plant in it?

    Take care of both of you and I wish Ross a speedy recovery!

    I love all these images. It never fails to amaze me how just the teeniest, tiniest touch of green completely brings any room or vignette to life!
    I hope your lad is up and about again soon.

    Best,
