Flower Boxes

With Jacob's new playground (as he calls it!) set up in the backyard, we're spending more and more time outdoors. We're really trying to enjoy it before the temperature gets too hot! We have grand plans for our backyard, which include an extended patio and new fence. Those projects will take some time, so we decided to add a few things to the yard to make it prettier. Not only did we get a little cafe set with a table and two chairs, but we added flower boxes to the windows into the kitchen, as well as the window on Jacob's playset. Jacob chose to plant marigolds in his flower box (no joke!) but simply because they're practically yellow, his favorite color. The other boxes have petunias and some other plant I'm not quite sure the name of. We've had terrible wind here lately (not to mention the weird cold front that came to town a week ago) and I'm just hoping the beautiful flowers survive!
