Patio Touches

Thanks, IKEA, for having more fake than real plants for those of us in the world who are botanically-challenged. Here is a fake marigold (?) in a new white pot (real).

Also, a decorative rug. This is the second time I've attempted to buy the rug. The first time, I saw the line at the check-out and gave up.

I actually bought three white flower pots and three fake plants. Dan convinced me to do this, because, let's face it, I kill plants. That's not entirely true. I have one plant that Carrie gave me about three years ago that's not yet dead. And one bamboo plant (also from IKEA) that requires watering about once every thirteen months.
