Every since I laid eyes on a flower tower in my search for flowers for Flower Friday, I knew I had to make one. It was going in my Garden Oasis. I have to say that I had a few set backs. The pots that I original purchased did not have a hole big enough to fit my stake through. So from there the stake broke. So I went back to the drawing board and started again. I got 5 clay pots and 6-8 four packs of flowers. I also picked up a 4 pound bag of soil.         So once I assembled all my plants and tools, I got to work. I started by putting the stake in  my desired location of the yard. Once the stake was in the ground, I put down the first clay pot, and filled it with dirt. The four remaining  pots  were also filled then with dirt and stacked to make stacking design.  The next process was to dis-assemble the pots now filled with dirt. I put the first set of flowers closes to the rim of the pot. Next you stack up the other pot and place it how you would like to see it. I put my pots

I am a huge fan of Darynda Jones. When Keisha asked me to do a review on First Grave on the Right, I thought "Yay! What a fantastic book!" I mean, this is the third time I have read First Grave and I fell in love with the series all over again.

That’s right, she sees dead people. And it’s her job to convince them to “go into the light.” But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e. murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she’s been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely." I fell in love with Charley after reading the first paragraph of First Grave on
