spring that is ;)
and i am stoked to get on my gardening gloves and plant flowers! i'll do ANYTHING to avert attention from the red deck.
pick your battles they say though, and that's exactly what were doing.
the red deck was freshly painted 2 summers ago and the lady who previously owned our house used 13 gallons to get the job done. get the job done as in, paint the deck red (and the fence. yes the fence is red too).
not only has our red deck just been painted but we are plain and simply put, exhausted of painting (for now). yah yah i know, i say that all the time and then something else gets painted..
(IF ANYTHING is going to be painted, next in line is our family room, unfortunately not the deck.)
soooo while all of the redness is an eye sore, its not like, an obvious-in-need-of-tlc-kind-of-eye-sore but we just like it to be known that we greatly disapprove of this tragedy.
the temporary solution is flower planting but that's like putting a band aid on a bomb victim. is a pretty little carebear band aid really going to camouflage a bloody massacre?
probably not.
alas, i've been looking through all the flyers and making a point to cruise by the plant section of all the stores that have them to ensure i have seen every possible plant arrangement and type of flower there is here in calgary.
i just don't want to feel cheated once i plant my own and then see something better. that is just too huge of an emotional risk .

My suggestion would be to learn to love the color red. It may take 4 hours to apply a gallon of paint. If you do the math, that's 50 or so hours. Do you think only one coat would cover, probably not unless of course, you are using the color red again. Enjoy your first Mother's Day and don't worry about the color of your fence. Red really isn't so bad now is it ?Love Auntie Kim
Way to go Kristen! You are such a keener, I try my best to avoid the plant aisles and you make it your mission to visit every one! I hope you had a great Mother's Day.
Give Remy a kiss and hug for me okay?
You will just have to use flowers that compliment the red - uh actually are there any that won't be tacky? oh well! good times ahead right?
