After the material on this bench went kaput, it was time to not only update it but give it some weather proofing material. Getting tired of taking cushions off every night and then putting them back on in the morning, prompted the lazy in me for another material type for the outdoors. So against everything…

~Bench At The Old Man Tree~
This little bench was found under some brush at the bottom of the yard. So it got some cleaning and a new spot for the lizard to pull up a seat. It is always a hike to get here and there on this property so when this was found it had to go where I…
~Lounge Seating~
The mini housing estates are over in this direction on the property and this lounge is a planned spot for pulling up a seat while working on them. I’ve had it for centuries it seems and it is all chipped and worn, but for some reason I can’t get rid of it. This part, as…
~Wicker Seating~
~Someone is sitting in the shade today…that would be me. ~ Me
~The Pine Throne~
Another place to pull up a seat for the fairies and gnomes. It is too sticky for humans but it will work just fine. We had to cut a pine down *sigh*. It was just in the wrong place for the electricity and the winds were due to blow it down. It was also to…
~The Bench At Hummingbird Oak~
This is one of the original built in benches on this property. There are a couple of spots like this under some of the Oaks to just sit and take in the shade. The hummingbirds like this particular tree I guess because it is secured and they know I feed them. I have to stand…

~ A New Look~
Today a couple of wooden chairs got a makeover for this year. It was time. So now I can pull up a seat in a refreshed new color and soon enough, fresh new cushions for them. Another Pull Up A Seat has been accomplished in the yard. I like this challenge of finding spots to…
~Lemon Blossoms~
This lemon tree is budding while holding it’s own fruit still. The lemons are delicious and the blossoms smell delightful. I get a couple of large bucketfuls to not only make lemonade but to made lemon curd from them, along with anything else in a recipe. A lemon garlic something sounds good tonight. I thought…
~Whatever Works~
I spent the last couple of days prepping for sipping and sitting in the back side patio, which I lovingly call the “bowling alley”. It is very long and probably one of the hardest spaces I have had to decorate to get comfortable. It is the only place that has concrete and that is not…
~Mini Estates #1~
It is on the way. I will say this, even though I really love doing this, my back is breaking!! It is on an upgrade and this construction bit is a tad hard on the slant in boots. In any case, Mrs. Shecky is determined and will update as I go. Hope you enjoy the…
