Preparing For An Outdoor Party- Part 1…

My middle son, Chase, is turning 19.  I am having an outdoor party for him and REALLY need to get on the ball getting my back porch and carport ready.  Here is my to do list and how I plan to get it done.

  1. Plant Flowers
  2. Paint Wicker Furniture
  3. Make Lanterns
  4. Fix and Paint Picnic Table
  5. Make Drop Cloth Tablecloths
  6. Make Drop Cloth Drapes for Back Porch

How does your garden grow?  Well, if you’re smart like me you let your mother who has a “green thumb” take care of that.  Here she is putting together the hanging baskets and tomato plants:

My mom getting her hands dirty

One of the 3 finished baskets

She then planted more flowers in the other pots we had lying around


I then had some old buckets I spray painted navy blue

And with these my mom planted tomatoes in them

Well, that’s one thing I can mark off my list…thanks Mom!!

Stay tuned to see how I complete the rest of my to-do list…
