I love pansies and every year I make an effort to get some planted and potted up. I do this before I start the yard clean up. I find doing a little beautification first, helps with the later.
Here is a new pot I got at Home Depot. I really looks copper from a distance.

All yellow pot - I love these mini daffodils.
I think blue pansies are my favorite.

Whatever you find yourself doing this weekend I hope you make it FUN!
