Ralphie ★ Posted June 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2014 Absolutely perfect weather, green grass from all the recent rain and sun, and the weeds have settled down to a dull roar where I can stand to sit without having to constantly pull them. Now they are down to the ones that make a decent work break to pull them. But the best part is the new patio furniture that is oh so comfy and very stylish if I do say s myself, and I do! Cast aluminium roundtable with a nice design. Chairs with orange cushions and a nice umbrella round out the package. And the recent addition is two chaise lounges with nice little square tables for drinks, books, and computers. A perfect combination. I just finished a most awesome lunch, and now as I post this I am listening to Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops singing with Aretha Franklin as a nice gentle and variable breeze blows. This is nice. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted June 7, 2014 Share #3 Posted June 7, 2014 The trees we planted around our patio several years ago have finally grown enough to provide shade from the sweltering afternoon sun. Our kids used to call it "the sweltering sun deck." So I can relate to backyard nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted June 14, 2014 No pics yet, but today is just stunning. Nice breeze, sunny, cool. And I just finished a garden-fresh greek salad with Victory saison. But I do have to get back to algae washing. Also, we bought some nice citronella plants. Even if they don;t repel skeeters, they do look and smell pretty cool. 'spensive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team scooter Posted June 14, 2014 Share #6 Posted June 14, 2014 Woo Hoo! Look, half our patio/poodle corral has shade in the afternoon! It only took how many years? Too bad its a green ash tree and the emerald ash borers are slowly getting closer to our area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted June 14, 2014 Share #9 Posted June 14, 2014 What are these skeeter things you speak of? No skeeters yet today. Its too early and the nice breeze keeps them away. That looks wonderful, scooter! The doggies like it. We're just sitting out enjoying this perfect 70s weather. Need to take advantage of it while we can. The dog days of summer are a knockin.
