Dirt Road Adventures: 2 Amazing Features, A Bridal Shower, & Spring Flowers

Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures: 2 Amazing Features, A Bridal Shower, and Spring Flowers! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes on the website and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures.

Hey friends, I hope you had a good week!

We had a good week, spending some time outdoors planting a few things and transplanting a few perennials. Do you ever have annual flowers come back the next year? I’ve had it happen several times over the years, but it’s always a treat. Last year’s petunias look amazing, spilling out of the vintage galvanized tub.

We’ve also been blessed with an abundance of Bee’s Balm spreading across the landscape. So, I attempted to move some to other areas of the garden. Hopefully, they will live.

Everything is getting green, and these bursts of color are stunning this year. The Irises were translated from a neighbor’s garden, and the knock-out rose bush is next to the pool area.

My niece is getting married in July, and we had such a fun time at her bridal shower yesterday. I helped my sister set up and arrange the flowers for the tables.

Isn’t she lovely?
