Patio Ladder

Yesterday I filled the pots and arranged
my old patio ladder, which I got at an antique market for $15.

In my tea and coffee tins I put Sandwort, which is normally ground cover.

I love English Daisies…

These are my new favorite perennial… Starry Night Viola
They are a large leggy pansy flower…


Today, rose bushes around the greenhouse
and a ring mowed out of the hayfield so we can ride without
tripping through the tall grass.
This is the first of our three farms that does not have a sand riding ring…
and I think I like riding in the grass better.
Glorious weather out there today… I hope you can get out and enjoy it 🙂

  1. Oh how funny, Karen…my everyday ladder is just like yours and I use it for smaller jobs requiring a ladder. Just yesterday I put it in the back of the Ranger so I could change a bulb on the metal building. It was safe…mostly. -LOL-

  2. Very creative! I have an old wooden ladder that's not safe to use anymore. Hmmm, I know just the spot for it…

    I love pansies and those Starry Night Violas are lovely.

    Enjoy your day!

  3. I see ladders in second han shops from time to time but they always want a fortune for them. I like your price better.

    Waiting for our fog to lift. It's pretty hazy out there right now.

  4. Your ladder is perfect for displaying your flowers. I LOVE the birdhouses…very neat! Enjoy your day! I'm probably walk at the park…again! I love it!

  5. In Idaho I could grow the leggy pansy like weeds practically- they are a bit more delicate here. Yours look glorious- as does the entire ladder- I simply love it- I can't wait. Another week or two and I should finally be able to get some flowers in pots and in the ground!

  6. Thanks for the inspiration, I have a little short ladder that I didn't know what to do with. I'm stealing your idea. Hope you don't mind!!!

  7. I was just wondering to myself what in the world I was doing inside reading blogs when you reminded me to get out in that gorgeous weather:) Thanks!

  8. I just love violas ~
    I got out in the weather this weekend, but only to sit outside with my aching knee elevated. Wanted to do some yard work but that will have to wait. Even though it was gray, it was still so nice to be outside.
    Your place looks great, Karen ~

  9. I have my Nana's ladder that looks just like this one. It has all the paint colors on it from every time she and my Papa, stripped the paint off their house and re-did it. Which was every summer!
    I may have to post about this 🙂
    Have a lovely, Karen!
