digging in the dirt

It may be the farmer's blood in me, 
but I love digging in the dirt. 
I have been so busy lately with school and work
that I have not had time to plant anything this year.
I definitely do not have time for a full-blown flower bed, 
so I decided to do some planters for the front porch. 
It was so relaxing to sit in the sun and plant my flowers. 
Lowe's has a great selection of "springy" flowers
& there is a cute farmer's market down the street from my house 
that has a good selection. 
Here is the result . . . what do you think?

I think I need to add some yellow flowers. 
The daises in the blue planter will not last long they are 
already on their last leg.
{but they looked so sad all by themselves on the shelf}
So I will probably replace them with some marigolds or something similar.
