Rainy Day Red, White & Blue Cheer

Inspite of rainy day after rainy day, which some people tell us reminds them of summer in Seattle, we are cheered by our pots of flowers.

An abundant pot of yellow mums that we picked up for $ 5.99 at Trader Joes is flourishing.   The $ 3.99 pot of  bluish petunias from River’s Edge is also settling into it’s urn and doing it’s best to throw off the wet to bloom.

Some 4 for $ 12 pots of  red and white Impatiens from Stop and Shop, now planted around a tree, are also brighting the yard.
