After considering and rejecting all the techy gift ideas for Mother’s Day, I finally told Eric what I wanted was a nice place to hang out in the backyard. He is always wanting me to come out with him in the evening but it is hard when there is no comfortable place to hang out. And, while our days are often over 100 in the summer, our evenings are cooler because of the Delta breeze…and the only way to enjoy those are outdoors!
Two summers ago I tried to garden…great exercise, but my allergies just make it intolerable! 🙁 So, Eric has gotten me two big pots for tomato plants, a strawberry pot (probably going to put flowers in it) and is doing lots of yard work (with the boys) to make it a nice place to hang out! And, today we went to Big Lots and found outside patio furniture:
I’m really happy about them! I can’t wait to try them out with my knitting or my laptop!! 🙂 Right now it’s too hot, but we are going out again in a couple of hours to set it all up! Maybe I’ll take my own pictures tomorrow!
Oh, I LOVE your new patio set. Tony just got me one of the canopy gazebos from Big Lots too. Helps to keep the animals off the patio and the sunlight off my laptop!
Great idea! I hope you enjoy it!
It’s soooo pretty!!! Maybe someday I can get a nice set too… But first I want to get the fence and deck built. 😀
I got my Mom’s day gift today too!! 😀 (I posted about it on my blog.)
Congrats! I can’t wait to test it out! 🙂
