~LOT'S OF OUTDOOR ...SITTING..~

Thank you to Susan of A SOUTHERN DAYDREAMER for hosting this lovely party...



This is our outdoors. No real view to speak of but..it's pleasant...and we are happy. Just enough to putter around in and not kill ourselves. (Did I say "ourselves?) :) It isn't me that does all the mowing and edging and feeding..
it's the man who didn't want to do any of that...and now..I honestly think he is hooked. :) No...I really do!




See my li'l froggy hanging there? I took two garlands and braided them around the pole. :) Is it tacky looking? No...now be honest... is it?

I'm thinking of painting the patio set...maybe next year. I would buy material and take it all to Mattie and have her make the covers...maybe next year... :)



So what do you think? Color? White like the swing....or? Red??? I'll think about it tomorrow...




My Jasmine is blooming. Um..that is Jasmine isn't it? Smells wonderful! Honeysuckle?? I think it might be Honeysuckle...??


The grass is greatly improved from two years ago. There was a huge patch of dirt in the middle and when Sweet husband mowed...the air was filled with dirt and dust.....so...MUCH improved.




Wonderful son in law...the one that did all of our interior painting..and put in all of our curbing...is going to extend the patio by about three feet..and see the hedge? There will be a pathway along it to the end of the house where another little shed will be installed on a slab?







Sooo...tacky? lol My garlands I mean... My little froggy is on a long spring with a lovely crystal ball on the end and he bounces at the slightest breeze. :) This is where I take naps... WAY too often!



Debbi from All In My Cottage made my pillow covers and I love them. They are the envelope type..and so easy to keep clean.






The rug is a garage sale find for just $8.00! It has been out there ..this will be the second summer and it went through the winter...and still is like brand new.



I just keep throwing flowers in front of the wine barrels...easy... And to think I nearly sent my lawn swing to the dump with the canvas wore out and I could not find replacements.....White Spray Paint...she has the right idea!



And this is my Outdoor Wednesday. Time for a snooze...and a little reading..and ice tea of course. You can find me out here any nice morning of the week...



Hugs,
