Thought I would show you the beginnings of my summer deck. This deck becomes another room in our home during the summer months. This is where I love to hang out on my lounge chair and read and soak up sun and also where Terry and I sit and have a nice El Fresco dinner on occasion. |
| I love this little bistro set I found at Walmart for $89. It is the perfect size table for eating out on this small deck. Does not take up a lot of room yet still allows for 4 people to eat. The umbrella is smaller too and just shades the table and not all my flowers like a big umbrella does. I am hoping to find a nice crochet table cloth at the flea markets to bling up the umbrella a little bit. |
 |
| This is my little sanctuary. I have my slipcovered lounger and I can read and soak up some sun on a pretty summer day. |
 |
| Love being out here on a sunny blue sky day. |
 |
| Cute pillows, a great garden hat and good magazines always! |
 |
| I am so happy I have two vintage bikes. This is the front yard bike. |
 |
| This is the back deck vintage bike. Love to dress them up with flowers for summer. |
 |
| I have this old chippy and rusty park bench out on the deck. |
 |
| A lot of you that have been following me know I love to mix in vintage salvage pieces with my flowers. Old chippy windows and this piece of old door with the Potting Shed sign painted on it. It hangs over an old picket fence potting table. |
 |
| Down off the deck is my flower beds where I put in the 3 knock out rose plants Terry gave me for Mother's Day. |
 |
| I even take a little time to decorate Terry's shed area. I have had this little fire truck for a few years and love to put a plant in it outside his shed. We live in a lake town so I loved when I found this Cottage rental sign a few years ago. |
 |
Love to sit and enjoy a summer night sunset from the deck.

| Adding a PS here. Since I did up the pictures for this post I had a "mental health" day with a friend on Friday. We went to Morris the cute town I talk about often that has really sweet shops. One of my favorite shops is Vintage and I found this vintage crochet table cloth to put on top of the red umbrella to bling her up just a little bit. |
 |
| I have this attached on the corners of the umbrella through the netting so I can easily take it off to wash it when it gets dirty after a rain. For now I am loving this piece. It is a wee bit small but it does hide the glaring red of the umbrella a little bit. Still on the hunt for cute chair pads for the chairs. |
 |
Hope you enjoyed the garden tour of the back deck. I still have time to decorate and play back here but I am enjoying the beginnings of my summer deck.
A sweet thank you to my daughters and friends that gifted me gift cards to my favorite nursery Johansens Farms for my birthday and mom's day. With Terry still not finding a fire chief position and with being on a tight budget, I worried how I was going to have my flowers this year so the gift cards were such a blessing to have to start out my summer flowers. I feel so blessed.

Have a wonderful week. We are leaving for a trip to visit my mom in Florida this week. I will be taking a little blog break while I am gone. I will have Spotlight on Saturday for you to meet and get to know a new blogger. So be sure to come by for that. Happy Memorial Day.
