A New "Toy" for my Deck

It is a challenge to have plants on my deck as the sun does not reach down to the floor... I found this wonderful plant stand that will lift up the plants to the sun. It has a shelf on which I placed my bird seed and water for birds to drink and "bathe". The metal is the same color as my little wire fence that I love. I put heather into the pots, two lilac and one white....


It was fun to go to the West Side Nursery, a favorite of ours during the years when we actually had gardens to plant and flowers to grow. I do miss getting my hands in the dirt. Having a few pots of flowers and plants helps.

My deck opens from two rooms, I have a big sliding glass door that leads out the the deck from my bedroom. I am very grateful to have this deck and the beautiful views that transport me to the creek and mountains beyond my railings. And I love sitting in my chair in my bedroom in the mornings and watching all the birds come for breakfast and a shower or two.
