Getting the patio ready for summer

by

It’s been raining the last couple of days but if the weather clears up tomorrow I want to get out my patio furniture and start putting it together and setting up my patio for summer. We’ve had some warm weather in the last two weeks or so, so I’m behind in getting my patio ready for summer.

I also found this great site to order some lights for my patio umbrella. They are brown wire christmas lights and they’ll blend into the color of the umbrella very nicely so you’ll only see the lights when they are turned on. I think that will work fantastically! I have to order some.

Do you have your patio or backyard ready for summer?

Almost finished setting up the garden for summer

by

My husband and I have been working so hard in the garden the last couple of weeks. It’s really shaping up. I think it’s going to be the place to be this summer.

I was out in the garden earlier this afternoon after it had been raining most of the day and the roses just smelled heavenly … oh yes, I have lots of roses that have the old rose smell and it’s fantastic .. that’s why I said that the garden is the place to be.

The only thing missing from our garden or backyard – as my husband would say, is one of those dlp lcd projectors. He’s always wanted one of those to use outside for movies. You see our yard faces the back of our neighbors house and he figures we could just project a movie right onto our neighbors wall while sitting in our lovely garden surrounded by flowers and lovely smells. Pretty cool idea eh?

I’ll think about it … maybe we’ll do it this year.

Getting some work done in the backyard this weekend

This weekend we’re going to work outside in our garden to get it ready for summer. By this I mean we’re going to put together our Patio table, get out all of our solar lights and torches and other garden ornaments and put them in place.

The plants have been growing and blooming nicely. Every day something new is growing or blooming. It’s quite a nice sight to see.

This year we might do something different entertainment wise in the garden. We bought an iPod earlier this year and now I want to maybe get wireless outdoor speakers that will work with the iPod so that we can listen to our music when we’re outside working in the garden or sitting at our patio table enjoying ourselves.

Have you fixed up your backyard so that you can enjoy some summer fun in it?
