Not a very nice day here and a noisy thunder storm rolled thru this afternoon and rain for a while.Supposed to be a nice weekend- sure hope so as we have 'Ride Thru Time' at LH our annual summer 'event.

I went out to a couple of local nurseries this morning, looking for an Amur Cherry to replace the Schubert Chokecherry I had removed this week. They are available but pretty big, would have to pay to have it delivered so maybe will wait until spring when the stock comes in and is smaller.I would like to be able to transport and plant myself ( with a little volunteer help probably)

Anyway at the first place, roaming around, I came on their discount area and saw some lovely iron hanging container, 3 sizes, they were 50% off so I bought 2 of the midsize. The chains are rather long for any place I would hang in my yard so will have to get them shortened. But even hanging empty they are lovely - I like the rusty iron effect!
