Patio Season!

What's my favorite season? Patio Season of course! It's that time of year when it starts warming up, but there's no little no-see-um bugs, no mosquitos, nice breeze with temps in the mid 70s, you can open the windows, no need for heat or A/C....ahhh, paradise! The past few years it seems like Patio Season, or early Spring has been short lived. It's gone from 60s which is a little too chilly for optimum enjoyment right to 80s...But these past few days and the entire coming week is just absolutely perfect here in Northern Florida! High temps in the mid to upper 70s, it was 82 yesterday...I took the nice weather last weekend and trimmed our Crepe Myrtle trees and this weekend I laid down some new lava rocks in the front, trimmed all the bushes and put new pine straw all around in the back and picked up some of those new LED solar landscape lights from Lowes. They had great reviews and were only $3.88 a piece. Sunday I spent a few hours pressure washing the patio and we managed to get a nice tan out in the hammock as well. I'm typing this Sunday pre-vening and we're about to fire up the grill and have Hamburgers, grilled veges and macaroni salad with Ring Pasta from Wegmans...Mmmm! Can't wait! What is your favorite season?

Favorite season? Spring of course! I just love when the trees come back to life and the flowers start to pop out. And the grass turns green instead of snowy white. Spring comes up North around May or June if we are lucky.:-((
