New Patio Furniture With Comfort and Pretty Privacy

Posted on by

June 3 2021

Just finished putting together the new patio furniture. Now to sit and enjoy the cloud show. Seems like such a great idea buying these things online. They arrive in pieces, and in heavy boxes. Got it done, though.

I’m not finished with all I want to do with our tiny balcony. But, here’s the new furniture, minus the little gas fire pit.

I’ve got throw pillows coming that match the orange ottoman. That lil thing is da bomb! So comfy for feet, and for sitting.

I’ve never purchased patio furniture for myself. These are comfy, and our little space is cozy. It was great sitting outside this morning!

Still to come: Bird feeder, birdbath, a plant, or small tree, and an ivy privacy screen on the railing.

It’s gorgeous up there.

Got the ivy privacy screen yesterday. Happy, happy with it! May order one more for the backside. Repotted the poinsettia in a larger pot, and it has found its new home.

The wind finally stopped blowing. First time we’ve had a calm night so we could use the new furniture. Cozy, cozy.

Thank you to Inova Apartments for the fun Tacos & Ritas event today, and for the lovely towel. Being vegan, I expected not to be able to eat. How lovely that the beans, rice, and soft taco were vegan! It was so incredibly good!! Thomas and I had a great time meeting fellow residents.

The One-Sock Club with Game Night and Clean Teeth

Let’s talk about this one-sock-club. I looked outside, and there’s Thomas reading. Just kills me every time I see this!

Definitely universal! We’ve got folks from Canada, UK, US, and Spain who are members of the one-sock-club! I wonder if there’s a one-sock gene floating around in our DNA!

Yep. Clothes are pretty annoying. The only thing I like about them is that they keep me warm when it’s cold, and pockets. Pockets are pretty cool. Thomas feels that hair is an annoyance. He can’t wait to be bald! 😂🤣 I think he will have to make himself bald as that’s not something that runs in our family.

It was game night for me and Thomas last night. Bocce ball, followed by foosball, with a gorgeous sunset.

Thank you to Schall for referring me to a wonderful dentist. Thomas had a cleaning today to prepare for braces. The appointment was smooth and quiet, with Thomas’s questions being answered, and with everything explained to him. Finding a dentist who is a good fit is so tough.

Jolt of Inspiration With New Additions of Sparkling Warmth

Thank you to Mother Nature for completely shifting my mood this morning, and for the jolt of inspiration.

Thomas and I had a sunset walk around the community, and discovered three new additions. An outdoor chess table (will get a photo next time), cornhole, and a foosball table. We had fun with that one!!

Forgot to post these from yesterday’s walk. These beauties, this time of year, bring an abundance of joy. Honeysuckle fills my heart and soul with golden, sparkling warmth.
