Out my back door....

Hello, all...
The wind has been blowing non-stop for days and days
and about to wear us all O.U.T.
It's not stopped me from working outside, tho.

I want to show you a little "RESTING" spot
I created outside out back door.


I bought new cushions for the patio chairs..
I tried MANY colors to see what I would like but...
in the long run...
BLACK and WHITE won out.
I just flat can't help it...I LUV black and white... 
and, it is so neutral, you can use absolutely ANY color with it...
it's a perfect background for color, actually....it makes any color really pop. 

One of our grandgirls, LACEY JEAN, bought the cute rug mat for me
and she chose the perfect colors ....





She knows how much I am loving aqua blues and greens together... 

THANK YOU, LACEY.  




 I love this little fishie pillow so much,
I might have to go buy another one.....

I bought Fabric Spray to help keep the cushions from fading in the sun so fast...


 ...that little turquoise table...
metal...
perfect size for holding cups, glasses and candles in  little LIME GREEN  buckets.

We never, if ever, eat outside...
either too windy...
too hot...
too many bugs...
so a little side table is perfect for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. 


This area is back by the greenhouse
and the large back yard...
when we are out working there, we need a place
 to sit/set/sat....(i never know which one is right)
to have a cold drink....
and to just catch our breath.

BUT...it had to be PRETTY, too.


 and....IT IS...
well, to ME, that is...
all my favorite colors gathered together in one tiny spot...
and I just love it.
(notice the stones holding down the little rug)


ha....my little PINK phone is showing up in a lot of these photos...
can't get very far away from our phones, tho, can we...

I love geraniums ....

the sun was shinning so brightly, these photos look like neon.....nearly



 Such a pretty back yard....
( I LUV this photo..)

Trees haven't been planted in this large yard....
it is so quick and easy for son or DIL to mow without anything in the way.
They are trying to decide if they might want to plant something along the fence.


I love using cute pillows outside
and need a place to put them when someone wants to sit/set/sat down....
I found this canvas holder at ...hmm...can't remember for sure....
maybe Target...
ANYway, it's perfect to hold my pillows...


 Our back door/s...





We have plans for many more pot plants and flowers...hoping the wind blows it's self out soon so we can enjoy being outside more.

I have so many plans for out there...
can't wait.


 This view is going to get better and better with the addition of more 
rose bushes...
and more blooms on the ones there.


I was using the white basket to hold my pillows before
I found the other holder...
AND...
this photo was before I cut all the tags off the cushions...

 I love this bright spot outside my back door.
oops....gotta go....I think I hear that pink phone ringing....
♥ ♥ ♥
 OOO...
I almost forgot to tell you that I have several new things
added to my tiny outdoor space and one of them
is on order and I am about to have a hissy fit for it to get here.

PINK SATURDAY
SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY
BLUE MONDAY

  14. Just started buying my bedding plants a few days ago, as you know. I am making a trip today to get a few more, and hopefully will be getting them potted in the next few days. Our summer season is so short that I need to take advantage of what we have.

    I love the new pillows and the colours just pop.

    God bless.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
