Prettying up the Front Porch

This post is going to be covering photo challenges at I Should Be Folding Laundry (topic: green), and at a new blog I recently found, Simplicity (topic: home).

I decided the other day that our front porch needed a little sprucing up. Since I am definitely not green-thumbed, succulents were the way to go. Cooper of course was thrilled at the idea of getting his little hands deep into the dirt! Me, notsomuch. As with many types of crafting, I love the "idea" of planting, I love how they look sitting on my front porch, but, really, I do not enjoy the process. at. all. At least, until I did it with Cooper. He had such a great time, I'm thinking we may be doing some more of this. That is, if these don't die.

I think that makes my front porch look a little prettier, don't you?
