What I Bought....

 This is what I bought when I was with my daughters and granddaughters at the Peacock Perch. I do not think it's a toy, I think it seems more like a promotional gift. But I fell in love with it and knew I want it to hold flowers.
 So this morning, I put a paper doily in the back and a pot of pansies.
 I got myself a flat of pansies/violas and spikes. This afternoon I will be planting in my containers.
When I got home with my flowers Ted had mowed the yard.  He is checking the oil  here. I told him he needs to get that grass off the mower deck.  Well the lawn looks good and green. I will have the porch containers done later and that is a good feeling.
 Hope all of you are having a nice day. XO

  1. I love your bright blue truck. I always think they look sweet in home decor. Love a little Christmas tree in the back or American flag! You'll have such fun with this. Sweet hugs, Diane

    1. Hi Laura, So glad you stopped by. I did most of my containers. I always just get some nice sticks from the yard and paint them for an accent color in my pots. I even paint some container..many times. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. Diana, I surely do hope I have not jumped the gun here. I almost put those pansies out three weeks ago..so glad I wanted..we had the hail one day remember. I do love this little old truck so much. Diane said I could put a little flag in it and a Christmas tree. See, it is worth having. I hope you guys get some warmer Spring weather ...once you get about 3-4 days of that, things will be so green. The trees are flowering . Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  4. I love your little blue truck. It is so cute with the flowers in the back. Too early for them here, but I can't wait to get my flat of pansies to plant out in the yard.

  5. Wow, i love your ideas. I may try to do some of those myself if I can find anything around here. Last year I put some pansies in a pair of old boots. I'm glad it's finally getting pretty enough to plant flowers. We're getting lots of rain this week and it's kinda come to a halt. Hugs and blessings, xo

    1. Hi Susie, I have planted hens/chicks in some old work boots before. I need to do that again. It was cloudy almost all day today. Once Ted and I got all our chores around here done...we went to town for an ice cream at the DQ. Bless you, xoxo,Susie

    1. Hi Debby. You know we could use our kids toys for decorations. LOL. I remember my daughter Karen had a true-value panel truck when she was young...wonder where that is now. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. My last Pansies lasted a long time. Nellie, I hope it warms up a bit more there. I like warm weather, but not hot...I am not a hot weather person, I feel over heated when it's too steamy. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  12. sweet little truck.. I would have wanted to buy that also.. and filling it with flowers is also what I would have done! Youre lucky you can play with flowers already. It'll be a while here still.. mid june probably. Have a great day!

  13. oh my gosh, that Ford truck is too cute, Susie. You know, I love those old trucks (the Chevys as well). The yellow pansies really stand out against the blue truck. What a clever idea, Susie.

    1. Kathy, This truck is almost the color of Mark's truck he had. It was so cute...and cuter with the yellow flowers. I have an old toy truck that used to be Rich Sottong's...I need to put it out too. I love you honey, mommy
