  1. Brenda, I love the green table but it blocks your beautiful red rug, I have those same petunias this year, they are beautiful never seen any like these before, your patio is beautiful,

  2. Brenda. Your patio is looking mighty spiffy. I know how you enjoy your garden because I love mine in the same way. I spent most of today outside, loving every moment. Enjoy.

  3. How sweet … Having a little Easter fun with Andrew!!! I love the patio …. that green table in front of the settee is just perfect !! Beautiful spring florals… gets me every time !!

  4. Wow, so glad your daughter and Andrew were ok, that’s scary!!

    Love seeing all your beautiful flowers, Brenda! Your patio looks wonderful – not much flowering here yet, just a few daffodils. There are lots of buds on the trees though – they should be leafing out soon! Don’t you just love the way the Japanese Maple glows in the sunshine? They are such a glorious tree!

  5. Beautiful relaxing patio. I love everything about the way you decorate. The green table fits right in.
    So sorry to hear your daughter was in an accident, but everyone is ok.
    Love the fur babies pictures.
    Have a wonderful Spring day.

  6. Hi Brenda…Have you tried the new Supertunias, Its a new petunia you don’t have to deadhead….and the colors are wonderful…….Proven Winners puts them out,..im going to try them this year in my pots.

  7. I felt very happy while reading this site. This was a really very informative site for me. I really liked it. This was really a cordial post. Thanks a lot!

  8. Thank goodness your daughter was not injured.
    Your patio looks lovely and lush. I like the settee and green ttable together. Can you get Nathan to put up a few strands of outdoor lights? Even seeing them from indoors is a pretty sight..An ad pops up on your blog showing lights on a patio.

  9. So glad to hear that no one was injured in the accident. Also glad that your daughter and Andrew were able to visit you yesterday! Hope you all had a great time with the Easter egg hunt! Love and hugs!

  10. Glad you had a fun time with your daughter and grandson. Fun to color eggs… I miss doing that with my boys when they were small. Love the color green used on the folding table, and the settee cushion. Kind of an apple green and so fresh and inviting. You are so lucky to have so many flowers already! It’s so pretty. Here in central Oregon, things are just beginning to bud out and there are a few daffodils and Scotch Broom.. that’s about it. I did notice I have one yellow tulip in my backyard, which is a “rogue” from somewhere else. At least I have a BUNCH of yellow dandelions in my yard to look at!! Have a nice week.

  11. I love the color palette on your patio, so restful.

  12. Your patio looks mighty inviting!
    I recall coloring Easter eggs with my niece and nephews and it was great fun. Yesterday I went to brunch with my family and then visited my brand new 4 day old great niece, so precious.
    Charlie looks very comfy in the chair and Ivy is pretty “chill” in her spot!

  13. The settee is my favorite, too. Nice and shady and comfy. The babies look comfy, too.

  14. I’m glad your daughter is OK! Also, I amglad you got to have some fun with her and Andrew, I love to color eggs. This year I tried a technique where you put some food coloring into a plastic bag holding about a cup of rice. You then drop in the boiled egg and roll it around awhile. The result is a marbled or speckled egg. It was really easy and looked nice. Here in Kentucky we are having a glorious display of flowering redbud trees and dogwood trees this year. They are flowering at the same time, which doesn’t always happen. The redbuds usually are a bit earlier than the dogwoods. When we moved here a bit over two years ago I planted a redbud and a pink dogwood in different parts of the yard. I wanted a white dogwood but couldn’t find one at a price I was happy with. the redbud had a few blooms last year and quite a few this year. The dogwood is blooming for the first time this year with about five blooms. Right now the blooms are a deeper, redder pink than I was expecting, and I really like it, but it could change as the flowers open more. It will be fun to see what happens. That’s the fun part of gardening — you never know exactly what will happen with each plant and with each season! Your patio looks delightful. The greens, purples and yellows are refreshing.

  15. Beautiful patio and flowers! I need to get outside and paint my two small tables as the weather has worn on them. Andrew’s sprinkler sounds like lots of fun.

  16. Brenda everything looks so nice and inviting! My favorite spot would also be the settee. Enjoy your day with Charlie and Ivy.

  17. Aren’t those petunias? The flowers and leaves look like petunias to me, not daisies. We had a nice day yesterday, it got past 70 inside the house and the heat did not kick in last night, hooray! Next week it may snow again. We had 3 inches on the ground when I got up in the morning a week ago today and shoveled. I hope that is IT for the rest of the year.

    1. Yes, I just caught that and changed it to petunias before I saw your comment. I think it was 80 degrees here yesterday.
