Curtains Outside

Instant Romance Added
These photos speak for themselves.
I have the perfect spot for sheer white curtains in my backyard.
I've a small pergola attached to the side of my garage but I never spend any time back there.
Perhaps I would if I hung curtains?

It would make it a small private spot in the backyard.
Yes, now that I think about it...I do need curtains there! 

Do you have a spot outside that would be better with the addition of curtains?

Something to ponder...

Today I'm busy doing very non fun stuff.
Going to traffic court....yuck...yuck...yuck.

I hate it when unfortunate realities intrude on my idealized (in my mind anyway) life!

Wish me luck...I'm hoping the little traffic ticket I got for a minor violation that
the police officer felt was not so minor might get dismissed by the judge.

Oh...I hope so!

Turquoise in the Garden

A little turquoise in the garden is such a natural choice.
A little color of the sky dropped in the middle of all that green and flora.
What a pretty wicker bench all painted up in turquoise!

I never would have thought to paint an entire pergola turquoise and it's splendid.
Just a touch....turquoise cups on a vintage tea cart.

Many shades of turquoise on this porch and it's all perfect together.
Isn't it?

I'm painting my potting bench a shade of turquoise and I have a few
small garden accessories I've picked up in the color that I'll show as soon
as my yard looks better. 

I worked this week on filling that darn sink hole. 
Progress made but still have more to do. 

I just want to do the pretty stuff in the yard and leave the hard labor for someone else.
Alas, there is no one else to do it. 

So I do the not so fun stuff and put off the pretty gardening for a bit.

How about you? Do you have the not fun stuff done in your yard yet?
