Some color in a dusty landscape

Today, when I went out to the house in the morning, there were masons working on the chimney, roofers scraping off the old shingles, a carpenter working on the fascia and more carpenters working on stuff inside. Our entire yard was a cloud of dust. At this point everything in the house and outside of the house is covered in dust, but at least there is some color to be found.

OK, so maybe it wasn't the smartest thing in the world to buy mums and ornamental cabbage to replant the window box for fall when we aren't living at the house and the entire thing is a disaster zone, but I have to say, pretty flowers really do help, just a little bit.
