I still want to get covers for them so they'll last longer. And, of course, we'll store them in the winter.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-38188450582005791792008-05-02T11:23:00.000-07:002008-05-02T11:23:00.000-07:00I loved this!

The weather is so unpredictable, I'd be bringing them in all the time. Or I wouldn't and they'd be wet. Ah, California in the summertime. I've been watching Brothers & Sisters on dvd (first season) and I can't get over the weather. Oh, yeah, let's have a party. Set tables outside. No wind, no rain. I'm shaking my head.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-72137209831136029192008-04-28T18:07:00.000-07:002008-04-28T18:07:00.000-07:00Bellezza - I got the idea from Nan.

I walked outside this morning to go to work and didn't grab a jacket. Brrr. It was only 38. We barely hit 50. Definitely not lounging-out-on-the-deck weather!<BR/><BR/>Yah, well, we're not going to take Miss Annie for 3 walks in one day EVER again. Sure the weather was nice enough, but now she wants to go every time we open the door! ;)<BR/><BR/>Colleen - Ah, you're more than welcome. I'm glad to know you enjoyed it so well. :)<BR/><BR/>Hoyden - You have new furniture, too! ;) Hope you enjoy it and get a lot of use out of it.

What did I see? What ...I love that what did I hear? What did I see? What did I feel? A wonderful aspect to this post and accompanying pictures. Your oasis looks so inviting! It made me laugh to see 6 walks in 3 days; our Henry will NOT let me read until I've taken him out. He lays by the huge picture window in our living room, next to which I read, and cries! It's very annoying to a non-exerciseaholic like me. But, it's good for us!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-80801038507447281902008-04-25T14:43:00.000-07:002008-04-25T14:43:00.000-07:00Booklogged - Well, if it makes you feel any better...Booklogged - Well, if it makes you feel any better, it's cold again. 43 degrees!!! And rainy & windy, too. Brrrrr. I'm glad I didn't take our flannel sheets off our bed. At least it's not snowing!<BR/><BR/>Tara - Yep. It's a fake wicker and the cushions are weather resistant. We're still thinking about getting some furniture covers just so it will all last a bit longer.<BR/><BR/>Heather - Aw, thanks. It feels good to feel happy, ya know? Nothing like a bit of sunshine to brighten one's day. But if you read my first comment, you'll see that it's bitterly cold again. I can handle it, though. My tulips and daffs are blooming, the grass is green and the birds are chirpin'. Summer's just around the corner... All I'll need is a good book, a cocktail and the warmth of the sun and I'll be out on that deck every chance I get. <BR/><BR/>Nat - Oh, the daffs and tulips are so pretty right now, especially against the green grass. I also have pale purple phlox and periwinkle blooming. Oh, and forsythia (which I didn't photograph this year)! Yep, Birks and white legs. Do I look like a Midwesterner or what?! ;)<BR/><BR/>Pat - Well, that makes us even, as I LOVE <I>your</I> oasis. Anytime you need someone to come out an boat-sit...<BR/><BR/>I've been looking back through my pictures from our trip to the San Juan Islands last summer and wishing we were back on a boat!<BR/><BR/>My Journey Through Reading - Thanks for visiting! I've jumped over and quickly scanned a few of your posts. Welcome to the Blogosphere. I see you and your hubby like to ride motorcycles, too. My husband has a Kawasaki Vulcan. I've been on it 3 times (shhhhh, don't tell my mom!!) I'll be back to visit your blog. Oh, and not to worry. You can add me to your blog list. You don't have to check with me first. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-5699598580906155832008-04-21T19:54:00.000-07:002008-04-21T19:54:00.000-07:00I was sitting outside at my mom's house yesterday ...I was sitting outside at my mom's house yesterday afternoon and heard an ice cream truck which immediately brought a smile to my face.
