POT 'O GOLD

A rainy Monday with overcast skies and cool temps (59 degrees). Heaven after the 100 of last week! The flowers like it too.

This old apricot picker's bucket made its way to Oregon in the mid-1970's thanks to my mom. It was full of Agapanthas that remained in it until 2001 when I finally planted them in the garden here on Grey Eagle. The bottom of the bucket is rotted out but Mr. A pop-riveted in a metal pie pan with holes for drainage.

The main vine is a Thunbergia "Charles Star" which seems to like it fine in the bucket and is climbing ever skyward on the trellis.

After spending several hours on the computer working on Mr. A's latest book, a rainy day nap sounds fine to me and the pooch. Rough life being semi-retired.
