The flower cart

 One of my favorite possessions is the beautiful rustic garden cart my dad built for us as a housewarming gift when we moved into our last house almost nine years ago. I've had fun filling it with different combinations over the years (see just a few of them below) and it makes a good landmark when people are looking for our house.

 The coleus and begonias I have planted there this year are really enjoying these cool days of July (yes, you read that right! We've had a wonderful cool spell this first week in July.) The cart makes a nice view from my office.
