Thanks so much, Ladies....
Please stop by and link up to this lovely party!!
On Tuesday evening, my son Joey and I finally got to see Rock Icon, Alice Cooper, at the Arena right by my home....
Joe, Joey and I had already bought our tickets to see him in concert in 2020 , only to have the concert cancelled by the Pandemic....
He did do another concert at our Arena 2 years later but we were not able to go so when I saw he was coming back to NEPA again, I jumped on the chance to finally see him in concert...
These are pictures posted by the Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza....
This picture was posted in the Scranton Times Newspaper...
Again, it was a great evening and I am so glad we went as I know Joe was smiling down on us as I continue the tradition, that we first started in 1975, of going to concerts ...
Since then, Joe and I attended over 70+ concerts and shows.....
And I hope to see more Icons in concert in the future....
Because......
Today, I am going to be sharing Part One of what I call my Bright and Cheery Patio.....
The reason why is that, unlike my front porch, which has a definite color theme of red, yellow and orange, there really is no color theme for the Patio off the back of my townhouse....
Today, I will be sharing this half of the Patio....
We bought the chairs and table 2 years ago and I originally set them up across from where they are now on the paver extension of the Patio that I put in myself...
Last year, realizing that these are metal and were out in the elements, I decided to move them under the awning so they will be somewhat protected....
Over in the corner......
This year, I hung 2 beautiful wooden wind chimes, that I received as gifts, under the awning to protect them from the elements....
I hung this one that my niece Renae and great nieces Cortney, Cait and Carly gifted me last year when my husband Joe passed away.......
I had these annuals left over from the full tray, that I bought for a mere $22.13, for the front yard...
On the top 2 shelves of this plant stand, I transplanted some Hens and Chicks in these bright colored pots....
In the corner.....
On a plant stand in the corner.....
I recently bought something new at Ollies....
A new deck storage box....
I decided to move the older one over to the other side of the Patio.....
I plan to store all my Patio decor in these 2 deck storage boxes over the Winter and free up some room in my storage room inside the house where I stored them last year so I can store the things from the front porch in their place in the storage room....
Another pot that I filled with faux flowers sit on top of it.....
I look forward to spending a few mornings out here with my cup of Brew and my lap top...
Hopefully, it will be cool enough to do so and not as hot and humid as it was last year which kept me in my air conditioned house...
On the side by the back door.....
Last year, I decided to move this chair and table over here as they are resin and will hold up better in the elements than the metal table and 2 chairs....
The chair cushion was bought in J.C. Penney's and the pillows in Big Lot's....
On the right side of the chair is a plant stand bought in Ocean State Job Lot last year.....
This is what the forecast for NEPA looks like for the next few days....
I hope to be able to decorate my Front Porch for the Memorial Day weekend but as you can see, that will depend on the rain....
If I am able to get that done, I will be sharing it on SATURDAY but the post may not be up til later in the day....
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
If you do not have a blog, PLEASE give me some way to reply to your comment, maybe by including your email in your comment. If I can not find a way to reach you, I will reply on the post where you commented so please check back......

Wonderful patio area, love the verse on the wind chime, and the faux flowers will save you maintenance time for sure. We have had rain for a couple of days and it looks to be around till late next week.
ReplyDeleteLinda,

It sounds like the concert was a wonderful time and I'm glad you got to go. Your patio is a little outdoor haven. I think I would spend a lot of time out there!
ReplyDeleteI know Joe was there jamming with you! What fun to go see! Alice Cooper. Concerts are a great way to relive special moments. We saw James Taylor not too long ago and it was an excellent concert. Your porch and all your plants are just magical. It looks like something out of a fairy tale. A fairy tale cottage!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see all your gardens in the sunlight since it has been gray and wet here for a few days. And did I mention chilly? I love the mix of colors and all the special touches. Your patio looks wonderful and I hope the weather this summer allows you to enjoy it often.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb! The concert sounded wonderful, always liked Alice Cooper and glad you got to go!
ReplyDeleteYour patio looks very cheerful and cozy! Hope you get to spend lots of time enjoying it!
Hugs, Barb
Barb,

Oh wow, it really does look so cheerful! Mine feels totally plain next to yours. I love how bright and colorful it is — I can imagine that even on a rough day, just sitting there with a cup of coffee would lift your spirits. Absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteHi, Debbie. I can't believe you are so far with your planting. We just had an entire week of cold and rain. The sun is shining today, and everything in the greenhouse has to be planted. The tomatoes are touching the roof! LOL. Your patio space must be a peaceful godsend to sit and relax a bit. Hope you have a friend over to enjoy it with you. Take life a bit easier and ENJOY it!, Sandi
ReplyDeleteThat bright aqua blue carpet really livens up the area and gives it a nice contrast. All of your plants look like they are thriving! What a beautiful spot to relax!

ReplyDeleteYour patio is indeed bright and colourful! I love the turquoise mat. Visiting from Talking About it Tuesdays.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, it was such a treasure to see your patio today. It's cheery for sure.
