Outdoor creativity

This year has been a pretty good year for my balcony, too.

This was how it looked like today...

Here are 'The Four Pots' (not to be confused with the group called The Four Tops).

If I ever feel like having my very own Prince Charming, all I have to do is kiss the frog wearing the crown. (Can you see him?)


 Five of my geraniums made it through the winter - flowering all the while. The rest were bought this year. The rule with them is 'no two colours alike'.

What I like to call The Clash.




Every day or two, I pick another cherry tomato and eat it.



My lovely little Christmas tree that I 'rescued' from the supermarket 3 or 4 Christmases ago. It even came with tinsel and baubles. I have had to re-pot him. At Christmas time, he stays outside but is decorated. This also happens to be the view through the glass door of my kitchen.
