Color boost

I needed a color boost yesterday so I stopped by the local garden center, Eden Farms, to see what was being featured. Not as much as in previous years at this time, but still very pretty. Here is what I found to interest me color-wise.

Flats and flats of happy faced pansies.

Bright and colorful tomato cages. These would certainly jazz up your garden!

And these colorful watering cans arranged very color-artistically.

Have I helped to boost your spirit with color today? It certainly is helping me this morning as I gaze out into a gray, somewhat rainy day. But hey, April showers are okay since they are supposed to bring May flowers, right? Bring on the flowers!
