 Since "Spring has Sprung" early here at... ~ No. 9257 ~ ...I knew it was time to get myself in gear with a few outdoor projects. First on the list was repainting the patio table and chairs. My patio table has recently become my work/craft table and has the permanent evidence to prove it. See...     I know...sooooo unattractive to look at, much less to eat a delicious meal on!  Nothing that a can of paint (already on hand) can't fix... Next, it was time for a new indoor/outdoor rug to bring a sense of the indoors out. I wanted the patio to be an extension of the inside of our home and longed for a bit of warmth and coziness out there. But, the rug alone didn't do massive wonders for the patio...  My good looking yard boy (aka...hubs) had been hard at work getting the yard looking spectacular...         ...and I wanted the back patio to match the beauty of the yard. It was needing some TLC as well! The back patio is a great place to open my Bible and take in God's Word each morning. The birds beckon me, day after day, to come and sit a while and enjoy the cool breeze and warm sunshine. Oh, sooooo incredibly peaceful! While out there, however, I was longing for some color and knew that it was time for my annual trip to the local nursery..."Four Seasons." I visit each spring, always wishing that I could take home one of EVERYTHING!    This must be what Heaven will be like...   Needless to say, after laying down a couple of Ben Franklin's I was able to spread some color around and the patio began to speak my love language! I ADORE checking out my lovely hanging baskets each morning...they greet me through the window so sweetly and beg me to come out to visit...how can I resist? Take a look...      The swing was a gift from hubs and my boys the first Mother's Day that we moved into our newly built home several years ago. There have been many chats that have taken place over the course of the last 7 years while dangling our legs and gently swinging.The green bucket was purchased at Wal-Mart for just a few bucks and houses the outside toys that every boy seems to have... baseball glove, baseballs, golf balls, frisbee, etc...  This little project is a work in progress, as I would still like to add some patio decor, new plush seat cushions, and actually finish painting all of the chairs. For now...can I tell you just how much I enjoy spending some time among God's beautiful creations!?! If only I could get the little grandson to quit picking all of the blooms off of the flower baskets! LOL Inspired, Dawn |
