Window box

Project by Dadoo posted 770 days ago 506 views 0 times favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Just something I slapped together a few years ago. Mama has been planting it with begonias as they seem to do the best here. In the winter she fills it with holly and pine and it serves as a welcome to the front door.

Nice. Her choice of colour of flowers fits with the colour of the box. Well done, both of you.

Window boxes are so inviting on a home … and she has done a beautiful job not only selecting the flowers but the colors as well.

Passport for June 2009. For now we get across with driver’s license and proof of citizenship!!
And Ms.D, if ever there was a Gt/LJ tour, let me know! That would be sooo neat!

Yeah, Just look at all the peeps right on or just off the 401 between Sarnia (my entry point) and the 1000 Islands Bridge (my exit point).! It’ll take me 3 days to get thru Canada to go see my son in Ft Drum!

So pretty. I’ve never been a fan of begonias but they look amazing clustered together like that. What is the trailing plant?

Actually, Debbie, I was close to your vicinity the other day with my wife when we went to Hamilton. We came by a back route, just to see the landscape, and ended up coming along highway 8 and then highway 5.

Of course, being well brought up, I would never just drop in. “One has to have a specific invitation”, said my mother and now says my wife. LOL
