Adieu to My Shoes (& Front Porch Update)

When DD and I went shopping Saturday, I got some new casual shoes to replace the old ones I've had for so long that have broken soles and seem to be too small.
I actually threw them away! I will miss them.  I hope my new shoes will be as nice to me.  ;-) (I tried on some neon shoes to be more stylish, but they felt funny by my ankle bone so I had to get these grey ones.)

It's a nice and sunny day (although cool at 6C (43F). We still have snow in ditches- when will it warm up?). I put out my flower wreath and some tulips in the window boxes.


Doesn't it look cheery? I got 12 tulips plus a silver bucket at the Salvation Army for $3. I thought that was a nice price.  I put 5 tulips on each side.

Here's the bucket with the 2 leftover flowers.


I've discovered that the fake greenery I've had in the back window boxes for about 2 years now is starting to fall apart. I think leaving them out during the winter doesn't keep them nice. I may have to bring them in from now on.  
I hope to have real plants in the front window boxes once it warms up.  Then I'll probably transfer the fake greenery to the back again, because it gets too hot out there for plants and I have to water all the time.  

One more thing- notice the smaller cedar tree in the corner, behind the side stairs?

 (Must finish those and paint the sides grey so it doesn't stand out as much. And do a real hand rail!)  Ok, I want to move that tree. I may start digging today! 

Happy Hump Day! :-)
