The Floral Arrangement

As you know, here in SoCal we have been restricting our water usage due to the drought. It has finally eased up somewhat, at least enough so that we can now have flowers instead of just cacti and succulents. So I headed over to Lowe's this weekend.

I got a load of posies and some Miracle-Gro soil, so there will be no need to fertilize. Then I proceeded to plant. First the front porch:

Then, I lined the circular driveway where there are still a couple of brown patches.

And finally, I added two yellow plants to the garage window, where I have geraniums under the shelf.

Yesterday, after all this digging, I didn't feel like working out, so I went over to Daiso and got a few little tchotchkes.

Doc is kinda messy when he makes his breakfast, so the foil burner liners are for that. Then, since we have lost most of our skewers, I replaced them. And the brown paper is for soaking up the grease from fried foods.

I also got Doc a banana hanger, and the little seven hole dish for his food, since he likes a million kinds of sauce on everything. The other two dishes are for Elli's tiny little meals, and a happy cat bank for her savings :)

I actually needed disposable shower caps and a new pad for my ironing board.

Then, I got a bag for fragile items for my trip in a month, a little box with a Paris scene on it, and another divided tray for jewelry. The last one worked out great for me.

Finally, another visor, since the one I have is getting gross from my sweat, a pair of liner socks, since they seem to disappear in the laundry, and some pads for your armpits to protect expensive jackets.

So now, onto what I am wearing today. I finally found a version of this skirt that I like:

Every other time I have worn this skirt, I have felt like a stewardess. It's made by Worthington, a JCP brand. On top, I have a nice thick jersey jacket from Bloomingdale's. Under that, a simple white tank. The weird thing is that the skirt has a zipper on both sides.

I actually went to get another navy and white costume necklace, but when I was holding this in my hand, it seemed to go very well, so I went with it.

On my right arm, the matching white enamel/crystal ring and bracelet set from Saks.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set and my nicest diamond tennis bracelet

I finished it off with my Coach sandals.
