With This Background, Pots Want to Be Planted

What color! All week long, the small lake by our home in Pine Plains was a dull grey. It got interesting only when tossed by the strong winds that came with the rains. It looked more like winter than spring. But today, the sun shines again. The lake is a wonderful blue. Because of the color contrast (almost nothing beats yellow/yellow ochre/orange against blue), these planters just pop out. They certainly want to be planted, filled with flowers and some wonderful greens. Given the temperature will again drop into the 30s tonight, I will resist doing any planting now. But soon. These pots against the lake look just too good to remain empty.
