My Front Porch...and a Bloglovin' Reminder

Welcome to my front porch.

Like most places around the country, we had a late spring.

So a lot of my flowers aren't really big yet,

but they're looking gorgeous and I wanted to share.

I love my purple roses.

My big pink ones are just now starting to bloom.

Isn't this arrangement breathtaking?

I HAD to splurge and get it from the nursery.

I've had this rose forever...we actually brought it with us from our old house.

What I really wanted to talk to you about,

is a reminder that on July 1, Google Reader will be retired.

I talked about this a couple of months ago

when I asked you to follow me on Bloglovin'.

I know there are several options out there to

receive and read your favorite blogs.

I happen to love Bloglovin' so that's where I'm directing you guys.

I get one email per day with all the posts that were published

that day from all the blogs I subscribe to.

I actually get to read more of the blogs I love.

I didn't really like Google reader anyway...maybe I just

didn't spend enough time getting to know it.

But Bloglovin' works for me and is easy to use.

Easy is good in my opinion. :)

I hope you've enjoyed this tour of my front porch.

But I REALLY hope you'll consider following me on Bloglovin'.

But if you prefer to subscribe by email or

like me on Facebook, that's okay, too. :)

Have a fabulous rest of your week!

Help Me ~ I'm A Plant Killer

I don't mean to be.

I didn't set out to commit floricide.

It just happens.

For Valentine's Day my husband got me this beautiful Calla Lily.

I hearted it a whole bunch.

I did all the things it said on the little plastic

thingy that was stuck in the pot.

It was in a nice, bright spot.

I kept the soil moist but not soggy.

But now it looks like this:

The flowers don't turn colors and they usually shrivel up.

It looks horrible.

So...what did I do wrong?

Can any of you with a super green thumb help a girl out?

I do okay with my outdoor plants and flowers...

but apparently wasn't cut out for indoor greenery.

And I LoOoOoOve indoor flowers.

:(

Thanks for any advice you can give!
