Thursday Favorite Things Party
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday dear friends. it has been a wonderful week so far. We actually had some rain yesterday and today. It has been some time since we had any rain so it was welcomed.
It always amazes me how my plants do so much better with rain instead of me watering them. When i checked on them today, they looked great. Even my seeds popped up. What a little rain will do.
With St. Patrick's Day coming soon, I thought I would pick all posts having to do with St. Paddy's Day. Enjoy!
Have a great day and a wonderful upcoming weekend.
Many of my features come from your comments. Don't forget to leave our Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you might become one of my features for next week.

Something Good from a Broken Ladder
Something Good from a Broken Ladder
After Christmas, we were at my daughter's helping to take down her Christmas lights. Hubby was up on the roof, getting lights and blowing off leaves. When he came down I was holding the wooden ladder for him. As he placed his foot on one of the rungs, it broke and the ladder smacked me in the face but I held on so he would fall. It was a 10 ft wooden ladder.
He said, I will cut it up and throw it out. I had other ideas. I made him cut off the top, above the broken rung part, for me. I knew I wanted to fix it up and put my flowers on it.
It didn't start out like this, it was rather tattered especially after the break. it had been sitting outside for awhile at my daughters.
I was originally going to leave it in its original state. However, I wanted to add boards so I could set my planters on it. I used boards from a pallet. It did not look good with a worn ladder and newish pallet boards.
My friend gave me some stain when she moved and there was a Red Mahogany that was full. The others were not and I knew I would need lots of stain. So that is what I used. It is darker than I wanted but the stain was free and with all of the sun here, it will fade.
Hubby had to add a board from front to back on the bottom so we could then lay boards down and have something to nail to.
On the second shelf, we nailed them from front to back since we could use the existing step and back rung.
For the top shelf, this is where it folder out so you could place your paint tray. Since this piece folded down, we nailed the sides of it to the ladder and added another board.
I added a coat of Thompsons Water Seal to the entire ladder.
Now it was ready for plants. 
I have lots of spider plants. You can't believe how many I have given away and even thrown away.
I was able to get many of my plants off the ground. I am thrilled with it.
When my daughter saw it, she said "is that my ladder"? I said yes. she wanted it back lol!

You're The Star - Garden Feature Week
Welcome to You're The Star - Garden Feature Week
Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was very nice and I was able to work outside. I planted some butternut squash and acorn squash seeds. Last year I started them a little late so this year I hope I started them early enough.
The leaves are still falling, can you believe it? Just as hubby got them picked up on Saturday, it was raining leaves on Sunday. We have quite a few live oaks and they just keeping dropping leaves. I hope they stop soon.
Have a great week ahead.
WELCOME to the March 2022 "You're the Star" Blog Hop!
