The Patio in May, and New Pillows!!!

Good morning! I hope it is a beautiful morning where you are. Our rain FINALLY stopped on Sunday(after a week and a half) and yesterday was nice too. Today it is RAINING again. UGH! But I got the cushions out yesterday and cleaned up the patio a little just for YOU! I still have flowers to plant, as you will see but we are at a funeral today so hopefully tomorrow I can get that done. I found these adorable pillows at WALMART and couldn't believe how NICE they are at the price. They have an outdoor fabric and were $5.00 each!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yup, you read that right. They had several designs but when I saw these goldfish I knew they would be perfect for the patio by the pond!!!
 That can you see behind the glider is a rain barrel. Joe uses it to fill the pond when it gets low.
 Joe decided at the end of  the season to winter over the spikes in the garage. Well, they lived BUT now I have to dig them out because the roots are FILLING the pots and I can't get the flowers in. That is going to be a job! That is why you see the flowers just sitting in the pot right now:(
 I bought this mini petunia basket the other day.
 The ceramic fish was painted last year. It didn't fit in with what I had here last year but this year it is perfect!!
 My large bunny came from Lowes last year.
 This bench also came from Lowes several years ago. I love, love the twig design.

 This gerber daisy is growing nicely.

I will be finishing up the patio flowers soon and will update this then. Thanks for your visit!!!
XO, Pinky

    That is quite a buy on the pillow! We could use that rain. It keeps drying up before it gets to us. That spike looks quite fantastic. I've never kept mine going but I can imagine it has a big rooting system now. I've got my annuals to plant but waiting a little longer since we still have some risk of frost!. The gerber daisies and mini petunias are great colors. Your patio looks great and summery!
