Deck and Patio flowers in May

Good morning! I hope everyone had a nice Memorial day weekend. We had a busy and fun one. Today I thought I would share what I have done on the deck and patio. I found these pots at Lowes a couple of months ago and fell in love! They had 3 different color combinations and I went with this blue and green design. With my flowers this year I went with lots of COLOR!
 Red and yellow celosia. I have never planted celosia before. Can't wait to see how it fills in.
 Love this blue pot.

 I repainted my fish, it was getting faded and now looks much better.
 Pinks and purples in this pot.
 I moved the frog to the stone wall and brought these fish out.
 Looking down from the deck.
 It was windy when I snapped this one:)

 I have pink, yellow and orange zinnias planted all across the back but haven't mulched yet so will share later:)
 The "coffee table" is also a fire pit for in the Fall.
 I got this iron bench at Lowes many years ago and just love it.

 This is approaching the patio from the side of the house.
 I do have some more celosia planted here since I took this picture.

 I have 3 solar lanterns coming down the steps, so they are lit at night.

 The other day we had 12 water lilies blooming!!!!

 I had this pot on the table first then decided to hang it out front on a hook.


 We have 2 of these iron lanterns that we got at Longwood Gardens MANY years ago.
 Beautiful begonia!




 Love my cranes:)

I am having a little procedure today so would appreciate good thoughts. I found a lump in my breast about a month ago and had a mammo, and it is just a sebaceous cyst. But now it has abcessed so I have to have it out.  It is pretty painful right now so I will be glad to get rid of it!

XO, Pinky

A Transitional Outdoor Table for 2

The first few signs of Fall are in the air. The mornings are cooler and the air is different somehow. I admit I LOVE Fall. Everything associated with Fall makes me happy: apples, cider, football, making the first batch of chili, fires out on the patio; it all is fabulous to me. Not to mention decorating for Fall! Pumpkins, mums, etc. Love it and am antsy to start but am enjoying the final dregs of summer. These evenings are beautiful and perfect for enjoying our dinner outside. So, I cut some flowers from the garden, placed them into a new pitcher and set a colorful table!!! It is not summery or Fallish  just "transitional", to me.
 I built the table around the colors of the salad plates. I chose the polka dotted pitcher and then realized there were dots all over!
 The edge of the dinner plate, the design on the salad plate.

 There are little dots on the edge of the green napkin too.
 I paired the green napkin with the patterned black and white to tie in with the pitcher and the iron base of the cement leaf.


 The green flatware compliments all the othere colors.

 I cut some limelight hydrangeas, zinnias, and purple stems of the butterfly bush.

 the hydrangeas are changing color now.
 The zinnias are so vibrant!


 I added the yellow bowls to bring out the yellow in the salad plate.
 We had a chopped Italian salad for dinner. I had mine with cranberry viniagrette and Joe had Italian dressing.


 Can you see the cranberries in the dressing? It was SO good!
 
Thanks for your visit. I will be joining these parties:
