I like color at the front door. Most of my annuals are in containers. During the dry spell, I had to do a lot of watering. I'm so thankful for the rain we got on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and I know the plants appreciate it too!!There is a surprise under this hosta planted next to the steps. One of the Guinea's has a nest back there. There are over 20 eggs in that nest. So be very quite when you come to visit. Don't disturb the mother. She will come out squawking and scare you to death...LOL
