*982 - patio

It's almost that time of year--the one where you very symbolically retire your hooded down jacket and fur-lined boots and remove the shovel and rock salt from your BOOT (translation: trunk). Almost, but not quite yet.

(Actually, who am I kidding? We're still hitting sub-freezing temperatures at night and it just snowed last week. But! I am remaining optimistic.)

The point being, the terrible gloom of wintry snowstorms seems to be at an end, we're somewhere in between seasons, and spring looks to be on the horizon. Which gave me a perfect reason to frolic out to get a few little things to furnish and decorate my little outdoor porch!

It is an odd space just outside my bedroom that, if barren, looks completely rundown and gross, but, if decorated, could have the potential to be seen as "cute" or "quaint" or even maybe "charming". So here's my first attempt.







Can't wait to actually be able to sit out there and soak in some fresh air and sun.
