Let's Celebrate

Hello everyone,

I have all my yard work done and I'm ready for our

party this Saturday. Today's temperature was over the 

century mark and all this week it's projected to 

be in the triple digits.  I will be moving the party into

the house, but we will do the family photo 

outside under the big tree. I'll share the photo next week. 

I was planning to have the food inside the house and eat outside

So I moved the black table and chairs from the pergola to the open patio for 

more seating and with the picnic table we've had since the 70's

plus the table in the covered patio we have seating for 16 people.

That was before I saw the HOT weather forecast.

We will be eating indoors now. 

  I found two Salmon colored geraniums for decoration.

I love my bunting hanging in the pergola and my

new patio umbrella to shade my company.

When I moved the black patio table and chairs to the 

open patio, I moved my bistro set and bench under

the pergola. The lavender is blooming beautifully, and 

I decided I wouldn't harvest it this year for my lavender projects.

I just want to enjoy the beautiful blooms.

A little apartment size stove sits under the

pomegranate tree. I would like to find some vintage cups 

to put on the stove top adding more color... 

The family will be arriving on Thursday afternoon and  

hopefully I will be able to snap some photos of the

covered patio and the dining room decorated for

my birthday party on Saturday.

Have a great week. 

Joyously,

Betty
