What’s the Story Morning Glory?

morning glory, flowers, trumpet blooms

Morning Glory flower with the sun shining through it.

A few years ago the man bought me this gazebo thing.  It took us 2 years to figure out where to put it and a year to figure out what to plant on it.

I’m not sure if you notice something wrong here…

#1 thought morning glories would be a great thing to plant on the gazebo. In March we bought seeds, planted them in the house and let them grow.  In the spring we planted them outside and only one side took off..

They still look beautiful to me.. maybe next year we can get

all three sides to grow and look fabulous!



Spending other peoples money OR Looking at Houses in Ottawa Kansas..

One of my favorite things to do is look at houses. I’m not crazy about doing it for myself.. but for other people.. I love it. With five children and a grumpy husband it’s too much work to find the “perfect house”.

Enter my friend Patrick. He is looking for a house, and he asked ME.. to give him my opinon. Can you believe it? Someone WANTS my opinion..?!?! On a house!

Here we are on the glassed in screened porch. For some reason I never took a photo of the

front of the house..

I love the “shoo fly” design they did in carpet squares. One of the coolest things

(I forgot to take a photo of) is the mail slot that opens up on the other side of the door.

Here’s the old super cool front door.

Charming kitchen…

One of the garages…

The garage has a “drive thru” from front to back this is the back.

Standing on the HUGE DECK… you can see part of the french doors.

View of the second garage, backyard and alley.

I’m not sure what kind of tree this is.. do you know?

Morning Glory.. I love them!

This was growing on the deck.. any idea what those potato looking things are?

Cute little house huh?
