One of my neighbors is a beekeeper. Today I saw some hives out front--or pieces of hives--not an unusual sight. I have a lot of space in my yard and have volunteered the space if she ever needs it. I think keeping bees is cool. I try never to use pesticide (if I have to use pesticide) that is unfriendly to bees.
I love this way of filling the flower box, don't you? (Added bonus--no maintenance!)
Of course, there is something just knock-out lovely in real blossoms. Especially these first of the season sort.
This post, as you see has no real rhyme or reason. Just a collection of things I saw here and there that made me smile. Here is the side fabulous Fox theatre. It was supposed to be a temple, but the money to build it ran short, and so it was change to a theatre. I love the juxtaposition here of onion dome and minaret with the traffic light. (Ooo--and I love that mini-cooper too. Note the pedestrian in shorts. That's "hotlanta" for you. Long sleeves and shorts. This is a town where no one ever really put away his short pants.)
I love that window box with the fake flowers - are they made from plates? It's very original, and like you say, low maintenance. Love the blossom. I am waiting for all the trees to go blossom-mad here, it always makes me happy.

Great window box - and wow, you have blossoms!
ReplyDeleteGet some of that honey if you can - there's nothing like a little local flavour.
When I hear "hotlanta" all I can think of is the movie "Beauty Shop" and the DJ with Don King issues. :)
Round knacks in your window box - very clever.
