farmhouse flowers

Summers are short in Vermont
Which is why it always struck me a little funny that there are so many beautiful flower gardens

  4. Look at all the colors! Love it! I've been wanting to build some planters for my windows along the front of my house, but I'm debating on the best material to use... wood rots too quickly, I'm not sure plastic will hold the weight & metal will rust... I'll figure out something & can't wait for the flowers to liven up the place! LoL! =)
