Spring is Here

Spring has definitely arrived in Atlanta. Flowers are blooming everywhere.  Even in my yard. I confess to not having a green thumb.  I think plants are allergic to me and not the other way around. I do enjoy plants and flowers - I am just lousy at trying to grow them. This may have something to do with over watering or under watering which seem to be my main problems with things that grow in the yard or in a pot.    

It seems that I can't get the watering issue right. And by the time I figure it out, the plant has keeled over never to be revived. Anyway, despite my lack of gardening skills we have a 

beautiful Swamp Jasmine (horrible name for such a pretty plant) vine that is just thriving. The Clematis is also doing well. And don't even get me started on the Phlox. It is lovely as well.  

Okay enough about stuff (gardening) I know little to nothing about. I went to the thrift store and purchased this metal file drawer.

Hmmm what to do with this??  Here is a before photo. I think I will start by giving it a nice coat of white paint and go from there. I will post after photos when I have transformed it. After I have given it its facelift - I think I will store rolls of ribbon in it.

My assistants, Woody and Sierra are pretty lazy today as it is rainy here today.  Woody is fast asleep. Sierra is a bit more alert.
