I don't mind driving 6 or 7 but then it seems like you need to add a day. I'm very strategic about my road trips. I've gotten away from mixed containers too, but I usually do one by my front door and sometimes one on my back patio. But Loree, you should have mixed container summer sometime-I bet they would be fabulous ! You could blog about overcoming your aversion to mixed containers and entertain us with your creations. And we'll be here for you if the trauma is too much.:-)kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-9104918353258267142017-11-14T13:49:49.547-08:002017-11-14T13:49:49.547-08:00
