Last evening I took this standing on our upper back deck. (click to enlarge..look at the bottom right of the moon)
This afternoon I captured these contrails that crossed.
I have been wanting some colorful containers for my gardens but refused to pay the crazy prices for them. I went to Wal-mart bought some spray paint , gathered some old containers and...BEFORE~~~~~~
AFTER~~~~~!
AFTER~~~~~!
Today I am thankful for having great children...No, they are not perfect~~a gift just the same!

I had no idea they were called contrails!
Everything always looks so pretty, love those containers.

Oh Darla...your flowers are pretty...no matter what...and those containers...wow wow wow!!! you sure did a transformation!!! I love the bright colors too!!! Can't wait to see them with some blooms in them!!!

Busy and Jordan will be making the draw after supper tomorrow!!!

The Moon photo is astounding...what kind of camera are you playing with...wonderful shot.
Cool Blue containers...
Blessings
Hi Darla,
Lovely flowers! I can hardly wait to have some here again.
The moon has certainly been lovely as you've captured. I'm just a little jealous of your blue skies.
A little spray paint and wow!
Darla: Wonderful Moon photo, you really got a beauty. Nice to see your great site with the X in the sky.
Petunias and Dianthus won't be blooming here for many months.
Your containers look great, I especially love the blue!
Beautiful new pots! A dianthus plant in my yard one year (after a frost)...up in Gainesville predicted my future marriage to my current husband!!! How...you may wonder...well it's a long story. LOL...but true!!!
Wow--your moon photo is AMAZING. Looks like an ET Character in there....Is that what the man in the moon looks like????? Oh MY MY MY...
Bad weather coming tomorrow. Hope it is not ICE.
Hugs,
Betsy
The moon is glorious!
Beautiful blooms and photos.
Happy weekend Darla.
Here, here, Darla. My kids are my greatest blessing. And their daddy ain't too bad either. LOL Nice photos. The moon shot is amazing. Looks more like a telescope than a camera shot. Interesting your Dianthus with its tri-color tendencies. EXCELLENT job with the spray paint. I use it too. It's the best tool for repurposing, don't you think?
oh so beautiful moon picture. I wish i can take one like that. the spray paint is really a good idea. nice colors you got there for the containers.happy skywatching!
Nice flowers, and those containers look great!
Great photo of the moon!
Have a nice weekend, Ev
I really like pictures of the moon :-) Very good:-)
Darla, your mono-macro flower pictures are beautiful. So is skywatch. How did you capture such a big moon? I can only get a dot in the whole rectangle of my camera frame.
Great post!
The containers look really really great!
You do have some pretty flower photos.
Your flower are gorgeous, Darla. Its always such a pleasure to visit your wonderful garden.
The pansies and dianthus were about the only things to survive that last wicked freeze in Florida! You've got a lovely blog and family. Thanks for visiting my site.
I'm mooning over your wonderful moon and flower shots.
The moon was so beautiful last night. I was out looking at it too. I love the re-do on your containers. I must make mine more colorful. I have to buy me some more containers this year but I also will be creating items for plant containers. Have a nice weekend Darla. I am starting me some flower seeds this weekend.
I like those containers Darla--what a transformation!
Love the moon shot. We are back into ice and snow mode. Spring has been sit back for more winter so I will have to come over and see your garden for cheer.

I like your moon picture, but I'm really impressed by the job you did on your containers. They look wonderful. It's also nice to see flowers in bloom at this time of the year.
G'morn, Darla ~ I can nearly smell the fragrance of spring ... how enticing. Would perk up any day ...
Hugs, Marydon
I wish I could capture the moon that perfectly! I LOVE it.
Isn't it fun to see what you can do with a can of paint. They look wonderful Darla and cannot wait to see what you plant in them. Your dianthus is looking sharp too.
Do not bother using that expensive looking sandstone textures paint on pots. I did on one of my big pots and it looked good for awhile, just like a real stone pot. Now it is all peeling off. Maybe I did not treat the outside of my pot well enough before spraying it.
Oh Darla sweetie...
I love your Friday beauty shares. So beautiful. The moon photo is so awesome. It truly looks like you could reach up and pluck it right out of the sky. Your camera must be really something, as it sure does photograph well.
Love the look of your new containers. (They are new now) Isn't if fun to change them. You could even add hints of other colors on top for a little change when you tire of these. Just misting so to speak. I always buy a few cans when I am in the store, just to add to my collection. I never know when the mood may strike.
Thanks for sharing with me today. I have so enjoyed my visit.
Have a beautiful Friday sweetie. Country hugs and much love...Sherry
Your containers turned out beautifully. I really like the idea of recycling the old ones too.
Happy skywatching.
Marnie
Darla your flowers look great and what a super job you did on those planters. I've done some of mine in the past and then went one step farther and speckled them with a contrasting color. Yours are sure nice and bright and cheerie. Great job!!!
So Pretty!! That moon is amazing, and thanks for the pic of the pots, I have the stuff, and now I just need a dry day to do it:)
I am in the same boat with you on the pots! Spray paint is the way to go. My problem now is the dog tears up plastic/foam pots! AHHHH!!! So I have to buy the ones he can't chew on or tear up! So aggrivating!
The containers look great, I think I’ll do the same
Full moon and great big X in the sky are my favorites of these posted.

Don't listen to everybody, we all know it's not the camera, it's the photographer, who takes a great picture.
Great moon pic.
And a good pic of your brand new planters too, much nicer than the old 'blah' containers you got rid of. :-)
Thanks for visiting myblog.

My husband is a pilot, so I am fascinated with contrails. Love just watching them as the wind starts distorting them...Yes, I am easily amused!
Love your planters! thanks for the inspiration.
I love the contrails, so cool. I also love the bright colors you chose for your planters, how fun!
You've sure had your share of winter weather this January! Glad to see you still have a few pretty blooms to show.
The moon photo is a beauty!
That's a nice, bright way to spruce up some old pots :)
The containers turned out so well! What a wonderful idea.
Love the aqua blue! I have some old containers but never thought of painting them... great idea! Now I will and save myself a bunch of money.
Hi Darla,
Like you, slim pickings in Arizona, despite mild winters. But I think our slim pickings would be extremely welcome to our neighbors in the North. My violas are performing just great thought, like yours.
I absolutely love your idea about dressing up old pots. I will definitely be doing that.
I have noticed the moon this week, it is amazing.
You are the winner on my blog today!
Great shots - I especially like that awesome moon shot!
The moon was amazing this weekend. If it wasn't 20 degrees out I could have sat and watched it all night. Beautiful flowers by the way, can't wait until our season brings us a little green.
I love the picture of the Moon. It was probably the most spectacular Moon I have seen in recent memory. At least the Dianthus isn't boring, lol.
Jake
Very nice pictures! I wish we had some things blooming, I'll have to settle for the white snow covered landscape instead!
Congrats on being the winner on my Mom's blog!
Great moon shot!!!
You did a beautiful job on those flower pots. You give me inspiration! I just love visiting you!!
What you call slim pickens is abundance to some of us Darla! The moon is fabulous! :-)
Frances
