The words made me pause and crinkle my forehead. Raise an eyebrow as well. Perhaps ask myself a question, "Am I doing it wrong?" But then quickly catch myself and laugh.
This is a bit of our front porch. You'll note we have a bouncer.
Yes we have formal pots on both columns on either side of our 100-year old house. This is one of the pots....
There's another pot on the other column. Hidden here behind the giant bronze fennel. There is! I swear!
And I should warn you. We leave our shoes on the front steps. So watch out for them, will you?
Oh silly gardening rules. Do you believe in them? Do you follow them? Do you raise an eyebrow and laugh at them while pointing?

Those shoes make me happy :)
you inspire me once again! i think i'll take some of xi's too small sparkle shoes and repurpose them!
i just love your garden....*happy sigh*
i love your front porch! and i really like the arch at the entrance. what is that blue flower?
The shoes I bought from Sedum Chicks, the wonderful company here in Portland area who has a booth at many plant sales and some farmers markets. I also have a red high heel shoe from them: they are so fun.
Cat, you totally should use Xi's shoes for this! And with the sedums, they need very little water which makes it even easier.
Chook, ah ha! The arch isn't in most of my photos: you know because you've been here in person. :) The blue flower in the pot is a supertunia. I haven't been a fan of petunias in the past, but some of the new petunias (wave, supertunia, etc.) are fantastic and just keep blooming all season long. I think I got it at our local Fred Meyer.
Dorothy visited your house!
Also - I was just reading a book on Giverny the other day and Monet purposefully planned his Grand Allee so that flowers would spill out onto it. So to heck with those rules!
Love the shoes! We have a shoeless house and I hate the shoes sitting by the front door. Having a planted pair makes it fun. Thanks for the idea!
Your porch is gorgeous...plants, kitty cats and shoes! My porch is a wreck..flower petals everywhere, spider webs, and cat hairballs.
You have ruby slippers...we have work boots. Love those sedum...you can plant 'em darn near anywhere.
