Project Picturesque Porch

(If you can't tell, I love to name things.)

Almost a month ago, I posted a list of things I needed to do around the house.  Finals are coming upon me, so I am now currently smack dab in the middle of re-doing my balcony.  The goal is to transform a "blah cement rental" into a  "beautiful city oasis". Okay, I didn't even convince myself on that one...

I'm not so good at growing things (even my cat is stunted), but I decided that this summer I would attempt a balcony garden. Actually, this all started because my mother gave me a plant (Pothos the Plant) a few months back, and despite my best effort in killing it, Pothos the Plant lives on.  I have decided that since I have been able to keep Pothos alive against all odds (the odds being my forgetfulness and my hungry cat), then I should be able to attempt a balcony garden. Right?

So, I now have Pothos the Plant and all of his new plant buddies ready for potting and growing and stuff.  I have to do something during finals, right?!

Pothos the Plant is the guy in the wobbly basket.

 Thanks to my husband for the picture update!!  Check out his blog to see other pictures he's doing for his 30 day photo challenge!

(P.S. In case you couldn't tell, I love parenthetical sentences entirely too much.)
