Boring Cushion

I crawled under the house this morning to bring out some more deck accessories. Last year I didn't use the cushions for this set because they were just too dull. Today I decided to use them with a little change.

I had no time to sew new cushions, so I just pinned fabric around the old one.

Remember this fabric? I used it for my Easter table.

That's much better .
It's no longer boring!

I rounded up all of my sad-looking plants. When massed like this they look much better.

My birdhouse planter was without a plant so I just put a glass of water inside and added a few poppies and some dame's rocket. You can see it sitting on the floor next to the glider in the next picture.


DH went to a church sale today. He was the first one in the door and he got this 1959 Tonka truck. I thought we'd use it today as a deck prop.

The area you see above is just the center of my deck. I still have this long side to work on

and this shorter side.

I can see I am going to have to buy more plants!

DH cooked a small beef roast on the grill. I seasoned it with salt, pepper and garlic. He seared both sides, then wrapped in foil and let it cook for about an hour.
It was so good we went back to the grocery store after dinner and bought two more for the freezer.

I am hoping for more rain tonight so my grass stays green. My gardens are in an ugly period now that all the purple creeping phlox and most of the orange poppies have finished.
