The color of green grass, the flowers blooming and the leaves growing back on the trees is a good indication that Spring has finally arrived. For most people it's a wonderful time of year however for those that have horrible allergies this time of year is not so fun. Since moving from Nevada to Texas, I have never seen so much pollen in the air, it's weird to dust my house and see yellow not brown. As I drive around town I can see the yellow pollen collect on my black truck along with many other vehicles, it really is crazy.
This is our first Spring here in our new home, we are learning a lot about the various plants, flower and trees that grow here in Texas. Since there is a lot of green already we wanted to add some color of our own by the pool area. We made a family trip to our local Lowe's to browse around and see what we liked. We decided to group colors together that we thought would like nice. Here is what we chose, we loved the yellow and orange flowers as one group, then we did dark and light pink with some white mixed in and the last pot we did light purple and white. We also found a beautiful orange tulip for a small white pot that we had and it turned out to fit perfectly. Before we starting planting the flowers, Rich had found a trick to fill the bottom to the pots with pool noodles as filler, he picked up a few at the dollar store and filled the bottom of each pot with two noodles before adding the soil. Once we added the soil, we started to plant away. We absolutely love how they came out and it added lot of color to make our pool area pop.
