Top o’ the mornin’ to you, my friend. Happy Saturday!
If you need me, you can find me on the deck with my new potted tomato, basil and hibiscus plants. Life got the better of me this year, and it’s a little late in the season here to start a deck garden, but better late than never! Hopefully, these Early Girls will still work out for me, because I dream of a summer day when I’ll be eating bruschetta and admiring pretty tropical flowers.
Ah…
Have you ever grown a hibiscus before? This is my first one, so I’d appreciate any tips. I have no idea what I’m doing with/to it.
By the way, the striped flats I’m wearing are new (thanks for noticing!). I got the Clarks Serena Paige Espadrilles at DSW this week with a gift card.
About the shoes, they’re one of those pairs of shoes that looks cuter on feet than they look in the store, so if you get a chance, try them on. They’re s-u-p-e-r comfortable, and the navy/white stripes are surprisingly versatile, despite the fact that I’ve only worn them with skinny jeans and a white top so far, but they definitely add something extra to an outfit.

I’ve grown hibiscus for years!they are super easy to grow, they like lots of sun and a fair bit of water. Other than that, they’re pretty indestructible! And the shoes are very cute- glad to hear they’re comfy – I need to venture into DSW soon….need me some new shoes!
