Hi Guys! I'm still here....I've been meaning to get this post up! I know I said I would be posting more often....I've really been meaning too....it's just that things are pretty boring around here. Chase is out of school and we pretty much just stay around the house. I haven't been feeling very creative either. I guess it's just this lazy summer weather. I'll come out of this little slump soon though, so just stick with me! I'm missing you guys!On with the post...I'm joining Tootsie's Ferilizer Friday. This is my parent's beautiful deck. They have an amazing view! I planted the flowers about 3 weeks ago. They are looking so pretty....
My mom read that wet sand attracts butterflies. I need to ask her if it's working...
The flowers hanging on the deck rail are called pentas. They also attract butterflies and humming birds. And that's a butterfly box beside them. She is really into butterflies...
Butterfly bush....
These are looking really pretty. I like to plant all kinds and colors of flowers and greenery in pots.
Color Color Color! The more the better, in my opinion. lol...I hope you guys have a great weekend!! I'll be talking to you soon....

I would be in heaven living there. They must sit out on that gorgeous deck all the time and just daydream. Amazing!
I just adore all the vibrant flowers and the different levels look so interesting. Thank you so very much for showing it to us. Tell your Mom I love it!
Well let's see if this let's me comment. We have had so many issures lately.
Thanks for your kind words today. Alex is about to wipe out the computer. He came home early since it's acting up so much.
I'll be happy to pick you up a "B" rug if they still have them. I can mail it to you no problem. Let me know. They were not very expensive at all.
Have a great weekend and your blog is still wonderful my friend.
You're one of the most creative people I know.

The deck looks gorgeious - beautiful and fresh looking flowers! I love butterflies too, didn't know that about wet sand though.
I too, love the mix of flowers in the pot. All the different color of the flowers make a eye popping statement. You have been busy planting all of those. They turned out beautifully.
The deck is just lovely, as well.
Hi Kristen... Wow your mom & dad’s deck is wonderful... What a view for sure... I hope she gets lots of beautiful butterflies & hummingbirds... there are certainly enough beautiful flowers to attract them... We will be arriving in Van Buren the 14th of August... We should try to meet for lunch after we get there... It would be fun. Love YA

Your Mom's flowers are so colorful and GORGEOUS!!! I love all of the pots...it would be impossible to pick a favorite!!! This is a wonderful outdoor space...I LOVE IT!!!
I know what you mean about the blogging thing...I am running out of steam as well...I think it is the summer weather. We are always in the pool or running off somewhere. I am VERY distracted.

Hi Kristen (love that you spell it the "right" way! lol)
Your parent's deck is beautiful and the view is breathtaking! You really did such a wonderful job with the flowers! I really enjoy your blog and all of your creations!
Glad to see you back. I know, sometimes I get into a funny funk and find I don't have anything to post. But I miss it when I don't. Your parents wood deck is so nice. I love all the colorful flowers! I love nature and all it beauty! I am missing our California sun. We are having a long spell of June gloom here and I am not used to it! We Californian's love our sun! LOL! But I can see myself lounging on that wood deck with a tall glass of ice tea! Huggy Hugs!
Love the deck, you did a great job with all the colorful flowers:)
Wow, your parents deck is gorgeous! Love their furniture too. All the pots of flowers are so pretty. Great post! ☺ Diane

First of all, youo have an awesome view from your deck. Your flowers potted look just beautiful. I need to start planting more varieties of flowers in my pots like you did...looks great!
Your parent's deck is gorgeous. I love all the flowers. I wonder too if the wet sand is attracting butterflies..Happy weekend.
Hi Kristen,
Just thought I would stop by and say Hi! I hope all is well and you had a great Father's Day weekend with your family.
~Take Care, ~Melissa ;)
You are right, that is one beautiful deck. The view is gorgeous also. Your mom has a knack with flowers. I love pots spilling over with a variety of plants. Love pentas!!
The deck is splendid. The flower almost bags to be hanged as a different style of decor though. What do you think?

Hey Miss Kristen, Hope you are alright! We miss you! Nancy
Hi Kristen,
Just wanted to pop in and say hi and let you know you are missed. Hope all is well.
Take care and have a good week.
Just thought I would check in with you again. Are you doing well?
We all miss you in Blogland my friend! Stop by when you have a chance.
Hope your weekend is wonderful.

Hi Kristen,
It was so good to hear from you!
I'll be happy to see a new post from you again. That's great! I understand about not feeling like decorating or blogging lately. I'm starting to feel it now.
I honestly can't think of anything else to blog about. My hubby wants me to keep private stuff off the blog so I do try to focus mainly on decorating. I might do a tag I was given a while back. It seems so many blogs are tag and award free now though. Oh well maybe not. LOL!
See you soon. ~Melissa ;)
Hi Kristen! I've been missing you and just was checking in to see if you're okay!
I hope all is well.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
