My Joyful Garden

Today we cleaned up the side porch. Gathering up all my garden tools, I realized that I needed a place for them. Continuing with my new home-life motto of a place for everything and everything in it's place, I decided to keep them in a old planter pot. A little plain and boring you say?...

How about a little apple green spray paint?

A little better but now for the final touch, a label that gives me a visual reminder of what belongs in there.

Yep, that's it! And pretty cute I have to say. I will joyfully put my tools up now.

And I know you are wondering what is up with that old beat up red toolbox. It's my herb garden. My mother had set the old girl out for the scrap metal guy but I snatched it up before he got there. I think the stand it's sitting on came from her too. I love it and it brings me so much joy.

I have a set of hummingbird feeders right outside of my kitchen window. I love to drink my morning cup of coffee while watching them buzz around. This past week, my old-new to me camera came in so I was able to get a few shots of this mornings' visitors.

Here is my black headed with purple band guy...at least I think he's male. They are usually the ones with more vibrant colors.

What joy God's simple things give us when we take time to enjoy them.
