Today's Adventures

Love checking out

the flowers in my

garden. This plant esp.

It is a Spiderswort.

Becoming one of my favs.

Peek a boo with the Cala Lily.

Sometime ago when posting

pics of the yard and gardens

I mentioned that I would not post

of the deck cause it was a mess.

Well.....I cleaned it up a bit

today. I had wood stored

on there over the winter and I

finally got it to the shed.

I made this to hang on the deck

a couple months ago. It

hangs right by the back door

and the edge of the deck.

My mom made this years ago

but handed it down to me

for my deck.

I of course thought it

looked cool on the door.

Standing at the edge of my deck

looking back to the other end.

As you can tell the KING

never leaves the area I am in.

So he was hanging on the deck

with me.

The other side. My fav place to

sit, the glider. Dakota

usually sits beside me but today

he was wanting to be under

me but have his space too.

My mom brought this plant over

today for me to put out on the

deck. The table I made a couple

of years ago. It is an iron plant

stand turned upside down and

a piece of 12x12 tile attached to

it.

The next two tables I picked up

at Old Time Pottery

for a little bit of nothing.

The light!

Since most of you were not

following me then I will tell you

about this light, which I love.

My brother had this metal stand

at his house for years. I waited

to see if he would ever do anything with

it and he had not, so I asked if I could

have it. I took it to my friends house,

sanded the rust off, primed and painted

it. Then my friend helped me to

wire it for the light.

Great reading on the deck at

night with this baby.

Yes, my painting. Still have not

finished outlining it, sealing it or

framing it out. Really need to get

going on

that.

Today, Dakota and I hung on the deck

from morning till around 5 this evening.

Around 3 it started to get warm so

I turned on the box fan.

Helps a lot.

My sitting area....haha

guess I should remove the

tag off the cushion!

My outside dinner table.

It was white and in the fall when

my handy man finished screening in

the deck I spray painted the

table and chairs to match

my color scheme and the back

door.

Right before coming in I decided

to work on a project I had in mind.

Felt like I needed to do something

even though I weeded two flower

beds and cleaned the deck.

Probably be down for several days

after this...

But here is my project.

A farmers bench to go behind

the front door.

Once it is painted I will

show it again and where it

is placed.

Loved this project.

Cut wood.

Pieced together

and it took

all of 30 mins!

Thanks for stopping in for a visit,
