Hello Everyone. We are so close now. Just waiting on a few things to come and we should have the condo put together. It seems like all the little things are taking the longest time.
Becoming condo dwellers I knew I would have to give up my garden flowers after having them for over 30 years. I knew I was ready to let go but knew I would miss having my flowers to care for. So a great compromise is I volunteered to decorate the front entry of the condos with some flowers. This will give me a small amount of flowers to care for and not a big commitment.
These are in the early stages. In about a month with feeding and caring for these flowers they will look so pretty. It has been raining all day when I took the pics so they are a little wilty from the rain.

| I love the grounds and how pretty this neighborhood is. I will enjoy seeing these two hanging bags and potted flowers grow and thrive this summer. |
 |
| Very soon I will start to post on all the before and afters of this sweet new condo. So far everything is coming out so nicely. We had some real ups and downs but in the end I think we are going to have a lovely place to live. This vintage old place converted to condo's just makes me smile. Below is Buddy's yard to run and play. He loves this big yard to run. He also has been adjusting well to going for walks.  Hugs, Kris |

Hi Kris! Your building is absolutely stunning and how wonderful it is for you to work some flower magic for the front area. Your neighbors are going to love yohr blooms. I think the converted mansion is just so cool. I'd love to see the inside of some of the other units in the building! Jane
ReplyDeleteThe entrance to your building is beautiful. You'll have to take photos later in the summer after the containers have filled out and post them! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea that was. Now you have flowers to tend to and everyone can enjoy them too. The front of that building is beautiful. I love those windows, the shutters, the light fixtures, the door. Just gorgeous. Glad Buddy has a yard to run and play in. It's his house too so he needs to be happy. So looking forward to the before and afters.
ReplyDeleteKris, I believe you've found the perfect solution to feed your need to work with flowers, as well as bless the other residents, and those strolling by. Volunteering to do this is a beautiful gesture, and I'm sure the others in your building appreciate you already! These flowers will bring smiles to everyone. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful building Kris! How wonderful that you have got some flowers to tend to - perfect! So pleased to hear that Buddy is adapting well to his new space, bless him. Really looking forward to seeing those before and after pics. I hope that Terry's injury is healing well. Hugs to you both, Gilly
ReplyDeleteWhat a smart idea! You get to have beautiful flowers and share them with your new neighbors! They look beautiful. I'm glad you're getting settled in ( did your bed show up yet?). I'm sure y'all will love your new home! Can't wait to see all the pics! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a GORGEOUS HOME! And to think that your talents and passion for gardening can still be implemented for the benefit of all the people there. Kris, this is such a blessing.
ReplyDeleteThe condo exterior is just beautiful and you have found a way to put your gardening stamp on it. All the residents can enjoy your green thumb. The flowers have always been so beautiful at all the JCCs. I can just see Buddy running around "his" yard! He has new places to sniff and explore. Looking forward to more pictures! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the pictures!
ReplyDeleteAh, I was wondering about your flowers. 😊 This is a nice way to keep your hands in the dirt without a lot of time or commitment. It really is a beautiful place. Glad to hear Buddy is adjusting well. Hoping y'all get settled soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cecilia
How great that you are able to take care of flowering the front entry! Do you have porch or deck?
ReplyDeleteKris, I am so glad to get an update.
ReplyDeleteStay away from weird things😬😁
I am really happy to hear that you are adjusting to condo life.
The flowers look so beautiful
The condo building is lovely and the grounds are perfect for Buddy to run and play. So glad you are able to donate some of your gardening skills. The flowers are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see what you and Terry have been up to. xoxo
Those flowers already have your special touch! I think giving up flower gardening completely would be very difficult for you. This is a great compromise. Your new building and grounds are absolutely gorgeous! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more. I love what you have done so far and the flowers look so pretty by the door.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to live in such a beautiful old vintage style place. Looks like a stately mansion.

Morning Kris,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely building for your condo, and that was a great idea and compromise for you to do the entry way, it looks lovely and gives you some flowers to putz with but not a huge commitment as well. Looking forward to seeing your new place and all the work you have put in.
Blessings,
Nellie
That is a great idea, Kris! I'm sure your fellow condo dwellers will appreciate your efforts. Already, look how lovely the curb appeal of your condo complex looks with the flowers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to decorate the outside of your building with such pretty flowers. They brighten everything up! Glad to hear that Buddy is adjusting and likes that big yard and walks. I'm looking forward to see the changes you have made to the condo. Take care Kris and enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAn elegant choice that suits the building!
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous, Kris. They're gonna love having you doing this. Love the yard and facade of this building. I know you've had some ups and downs, but I sure hope you can ride the wave of good things for a long time to come.
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers, what a great way to keep your amazing green thumb at work. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, Kris, I will admit that I was concerned about you not having your beautiful garden and flowers. What a great idea that you are doing the front flowers. It already looks so pretty and with your expertise management and owners will be in heaven (and so will you)..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteThe flowers in front of the building look beautiful. And, of course, the building itself is beautiful, too. Can't wait to see all your before and afters.
ReplyDeleteWow Kris what a great idea! Love it! Looking forward to seeing the before and afters!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you will be happy and accepting of changes. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful for you, and the others about the flowers, Kris!! You are the perfect person for job!! xo
ReplyDeleteI bet they've never had an entryway quite like that before!! It really takes the stately nature of that building up a few notches. Gorgeous. Can you come do my house next please? 🥰 xo
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful you are able to continue caring for flowers. You’ve created such a warm lovely entrance for all to enjoy. You’re one very special woman. ❤️
