Patio Sitter ~ Fall Transition

 Hello, my friends

I sure hope everyone is doing well.

I pray your life is full of blessings.

Isn't it amazing how sometimes we are unable

for whatever reasons, to see how very blessed

we really are.  I think many times we overlook, or take

for granted the beautiful life we have and

how abundantly we are blessed.

I have been thinking about it a lot.

Even in the midst of loss, turmoil, uncertainty

we can pause to give thanks

to the Giver of all gifts.

 

My patio has been a blessing to me.

The summer has been hot but in the evening

after the sun was setting I could go out and sit.

I could see the night sky.  I love watching the stars 

and gazing at the moon. Many early

mornings I would like to sit and listen

to the morning choir. birds singing.

I re-painted this table I have had forever.

I wanted something more "farmhouse" or "county" as

I call it.  Now the weather is cooler as we transition into

Fall/Autumn.  I am enjoying my patio even more.

Even though my brown water can has faux sunflowers

I still like seeing the faux flowers.

I made the arrangement to give a pretty touch 

of color and fall flowers. Live sunflowers just don't 

last long in an arrangement like this.

Besides I like my Faux!

The little green table I also repainted.

The only difference I did not antique.

I just painted the green.  And I don't

remember the name of the color.

This little table I bought many years ago

I remember I paid $5.00 for it.

It has been a handy little table.

I just love it!

My poor flowers really took a beating with the summer heat.

I lost several flowers in the patio pots.

Between being so extremely hot I was laid up with my

damaged leg from my fall in early June.

Some of the heat and drought resistant 

plants made it.  Now that the weather is cool

and I am able to go out and water

a few are coming back.

I will leave you with my chair.  I guess you would call

me a Patio Sitter.  And my chair allows me to sit

and enjoy my beautiful surrounding, 

It's really a blessing.

I hope you are having many more good days.
