    Step by Step . . . oooo baby!

    Did you get it??? The New Kids on the Block reference??? Don't make me write out the whole song, it's not like I know all the lyrics by heart . . .

    "Step by Step, oooo baby
    Gonna get to you girl
    Step by Step, oooo baby
    Really want you in my world

    Step, hey girl in your eyes
    I see a picture of me all the time . . . "

    Okay so I do . . .  embarrassing!!!!

    Anyway,
    What does a 90's boy band have to do with our back porch? nothing really except for the geraniums on each step of our back landing.

    I LOVE the look of potted plants going up a staircase! And for some reason they have to be geraniums, I don't know why, that's just the way it works in my head :)
    So  3 terracotta pots, 3 terracotta saucers, some pebbles for the trays (to ensure good drainage) 2 - 6 packs of geraniums later, and we have some color and life on the back porch.


    Max likes them too :)


    Step by Step . . . . oooooo Geraniums! haha

      I am a big fan of geraniums! I plant them in pots for my front porch every year. I like the bright red ones usually but these pinker one here today are very pretty! I like that cascading down the stairs look too.

      Definitely one of my favorite plants, especially in a terracotta pot!

      Max is so stinkin' cute, he's the perfect accessory.

      I would agree to not having red in the front, but no red at all seems crazy to me, I love my back porch red geraniums and I can almost promise I'll have them there next year too!! hehe
      The guy is hilarious though! I think I'll flip through a couple more of his posts!! :)
      Thanks for the link
