One of the best things about having a single-family home as opposed to a condo or townhouse is that we have a backyard with a pretty big back deck. It's a lot of yard work but we're not sick of it yet. The deck needs to be refinished, which is a project for next summer, but I didn't want to wait until then to use it so I went ahead and decorated!
We bought a patio set at Sears, 6 chairs and a table with an umbrella that you can angle. The umbrella is quite handy because we get a lot of sunlight in the afternoons here. I also added little pots that hang off of the railing and filled them with different colors of begonias. Pete said they looked like something a kindergarden would have since they were such bright colors but with our beige house and beige patio furniture I thought a little color was nice. I also got a big pot of some pretty purple flowers,
although I have no clue what they are. I haven't killed them yet so they must be something hardy.
The best thing about my nice relaxing backyard is that the wireless internet reaches out there so I can sit outside and enjoy the nice weather (when we have it) while still getting some work done. And I've had a lot to do recently moving all 74 items I have in my Etsy shop over to my ArtFire shop. I love my macbook but sometimes it would be really handy to have a nice big screen for things like that. Anyway, back to the backyard. We also have lots of great plants actually planted out there. I'll have images soon. Until then, I'm going back outside to soak up some sun and get some work done on ArtFire. Hope you're having fun enjoying the holiday weekend!
