The Season of Purple

My gardens tend to go through seasons of color.

Right now it is purple.

The purple flowers are called Obedient Plant.

It comes in purple and white.

They grow all summer long and flower in late summer to early fall.

They are beautiful.

BUT BEWARE!

IT IS INVASIVE!

Many years ago, I remember planting just a few of these plants in my driveway entrance flower bed.

A few turned into hundreds.

I gave so many away.

They are spreaders if you let them go to seed.

I did.

Now I have them in almost every garden in my yard.

So this year I went out and bought some more.

White ones.

I am hoping they will spread as well as the purple.

The Hydrangeas are starting to change colors.

Fall is on the way.

My Autumn Clematis is in bloom too.

Tiny white sweet smelling flowers.

It is one of my favorite climbing vines, I have four of them around the gardens and I added a new one to the back deck.

My daughter's new purple sneakers.

She loves the color purple and they are just her favorite she tells me.

What color season are your flowers in?

Purple for a Little Girl

Now that the study room floor is done, we are on to the next project.

Wood is ordered.
And waiting patiently in the hallway.

Old carpeting is ripped up.

Most of the furniture is out.
The big iron beast is last to go.

A little girl is excited because her room is next on the list.

We want the room to be able to transition into a teen room with minor changes.

She is excited to be having her own little slumber party in the basement while we work on her floor.

I was surprised when I showed her this picture and she loved the bedding.
Her room is already painted a very pale purple.
My plan is to keep the color just paint another coat to make it clean and fresh again, and of course all of the trim will be repainted white again.

I am on the look out for a chair to slipcover.
A new/used desk and desk chair.
They will be painted dark purple.

The wood floor will not be stained, we will only put couple coats of poly on, so if we change our minds and want to paint a pattern we can.

We are still looking for a rug that will bring all of the room colors together.

Then comes the hallway.
I still love my painted walls so I will be staining the floor same as the downstairs floors.

Then, the boys room.

Cue the Jaws music.

Lots of Legos.
