If you remember last spring, when Brian made our yard look like this...well, he has done it again. He worked so hard over the weekend planting and pulling and mulching. I am so glad that he loves to work in the yard. I don't mind some of it, but I just don't like the heat. 
We actually had heard from some friends that a nursery that was just down the street had opened to the public and had some good deals, so we went to check it out. Did I say good deals??? Oh my goodness,...we got two huge hanging baskets, two large potted plants, 2 (10 pack) flats of plants and 2 (36 pack) flats of flowers for $40!! And take a look at the hanging baskets (not hanging in the picture) and one of the pots...$6!!!!! 
Then Sunday, when I got home from having to sing all three services at church, Brian told me he had a surprise. I was so excited. He got me a new umbrella for our deck furniture. Ours had broken at the end of last year and I had been talking about one for a while. I had always heard that you should match your back porch or whatever you see from the back of the house to what your colors are from inside the windows. Well, our colors are golden yellow, brown and a shrimp orange in the kitchen and dining room/living room. Well, the umbrella is the shrimp orange and it looks fantastic from inside the house looking out.
Doesn't this back porch look inviting? Who's up for some iced tea on the back porch?
