Summer Porches & Decks Blog Party

I am participating in the week long blog party, with Wednesday’s post having a theme of “Summer Porches & Decks” hosted by Kim from Savvy Southern Style.  However, I don’t have a porch or a deck ~ I have a screened gazebo and a patio, so I am showing those off.

When you come outside the sliding glass doors that are off the kitchen side of the house {which are the doors we use most often} this is the view.  To the right is some lawn and a raised bed, which I’ve shared before when it has been covered in snow.

My patio runs the full length of the back of my house and paths run off the patio.

One curvy path leads to the shed and, back behind the doors we came through, the path leads to the steps to the pool and around to the gate that leads to the driveway.

Behind the white fence you see here is our in-ground pool.

Here we are at the gazebo.  I have my fairy bell outside the door as well as one of several cherubs I have in the yard.

I’d love to give you a tour of the inside of the gazebo, but I didn’t have time to clean it up. 

Here is a view looking back to the patio and the sliding doors from the gazebo.

Next to and just behind the gazebo is a Weeping Willow tree.  I grew this tree from a branch of a Weeping Willow tree that had been in our yard and was a victim of The Great Hurricane of ‘95.   I set up the round glass table underneath it for the Mad Hatter Tea Party linky that I am participating in on Saturday, so you are getting a sneak peek here!

I’m sure there is lots of eye candy and inspiration, so I hope you will visit all the party participants!
