Hope of Spring

Look what's popping up!

We were so inspired we went to Big Lots and bought chairs and a little table for the grape arbor,

and for the patio. Sergene and I sat out for half an hour watching Hero play in the snow and were almost too warm. We also bought an umbrella for the patio table. The patio set matches the one on the deck but is a little smaller.

Come visit us and have tea (or lemonade) out of doors.

D'you like my new colors, by the way? It's a bit bright, I suppose, but will do for now. And the width of the blog is variable, so you can see it wider, which for me makes it easier to read.
