I needed a "pot filler"...

... ya know when at the end of summer your flowers start to look a lil' "spent" yet it is a bit to early to plant fall flowers - well, I'm there! This asparagus fern was looking a lil' lonely and I couldn't bare to toss out a perfectly healthy plant so I begin to think of ways to enjoy it a tad longer before I planted a mum or nestled a pumpkin in there. And since we are gonna have some company in the next couple of days - it needed some sprucing up.

So here was my quick fix and I think it'll do the trick for the back porch steps.

My lonely asparagus fern looking for some company...

...I found a small grapevine wreath that fit the top of the pot - simply laid it in there and let the

fern fall around it...(honeysuckle vine would be pretty wrapped around it also)

...got my "most absolute favorite" antique watering can (gifted to me by my sweet papaw, Jodi) and placed it in the pot - that wreath holds everything nice and steady...

...filled it with water and cut some of my beautiful limelight hydrangea blooms.

So - since "back door quests are best" - this lil' pot will be there to greet them when they show up. Well, until pumpkin thyme anyway.

Have a happy start to your week my friends!
