Summer Porch

The pollen is gone and the porch has been fluffed and readied for summer!

The itty bitty shrubs we planted last year have knocked my socks off.  I’ve finally had planting success…take that, black thumb!  Would you believe I nearly dug up the hostas because I forgot I planted them and thought they were weeds when I saw the first shoots coming up?!?!

Y’all come on in and sit for a spell!  I’ve branched out of my usual low maintenance potato vine for a few colorful flowers.

Nothing has changed since I first shared the reveal last summer.  We did decide to go ahead and put screens up – probably in the next couple of weeks!

I adore our new beverage tub compliments of HKL Designs!!  Tricia was able to create my custom monogram in vinyl!!!!  I cannot tell you how exciting this is!

This bed was previously overrun with monkey grass and lord knows what else – probably snakes and spiders from the way it looked.  We moved the fountain from our old house (much to Honey’s dismay at its ton-age).  Honey dug up all of the monkey grass and we planted a few hostas.  They are babies now, but I have high hopes that they will be big and lush this time next year.

I do believe I’ll take my coffee outside today.  It’s summertime in the South, y'all!
