The Living Room in May

As Memorial day has passed and we are now in the unofficial start of summer (HELLO, Mother Nature), I thought I would share the living room before things change to more summery decor. It has been cloudy, rainy, overcast and cool for days. I edited these pictures as much as I could but some are just dark. This first picture is what you see when you come down the stairs from the second floor. Our master is on the first floor but when I do go upstairs to clean I love this view.
 I always love a touch of animal print in any room and do love this rug. Plants, real and faux bring a room to life.


 I do sit in this chair some mornings when I am up first and just take it all in.
 Blue and white collections are being featured all over blogland. I am so glad I started collecting over 30 years ago!



 During the winter I sit on this sectional and read. I feel cozy in this room.
 Joe gave me this orchid for Mother's day and so far I have managed to keep it alive!!! Orchids have never been easy for me. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I brought out my blue and white koi pillow. It is one of my favorites.
 As you know, my FIL brought the elephants back from Vietnam.
 I wish I knew who made this for my parents marriage.
 Love my jar pillows too!

Thanks for stopping by, please let me know you were here! I ahve been sick, several issues I have been dealing with so haven't been able to post much. Hopefully I will be feeling better soon.

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!
