outdoor spaces...

These are my outdoor spaces.... I love each little nook for a different reason. Grab a glass of fresh brewed ice tea or ice cold lemonade and come along for a little tour.
This is a tiny porch of off our family room. My son and DIL made this arbor for their wedding last summer. I hauled it home and had hubby put it up out here. It is a sweet remembrance of the wedding day for me.













This is my porch that most people use to enter my home....
I like to keep it cheery and welcoming.








This is the area right outside my beauty salon.
My hubby graciously gave up his portion of the garage
to build me a salon at home when the older 3
were little so I could be with them.
Emma was born after the salon was built and was raised
out there with all the love and attention
from me and all my amazing clients.


Hubby also built me this wonderful Arbor
that same year.
It is the first one he built and it is still my favorite.
He has built many more for
friends and family.
To me it looks like an entrance to a secret garden...
Just what I wanted. :)


This is the sign on our front main porch.

My favorite spot to sit any time of the day for 3 seasons.
The large windows were given to me by a friend of my Mom's.
Thanks Marty! I love them.
Our Calicoes love my porches too!

Soon my hydrangeas will be in full bloom!:)

Remember to slow down, sit awhile,

be thankful,

and enjoy the beauty of the day!

Blessings~

Thank you for your super sweet comment today!

Ava did such a great job today! She even got brave enough to plunge her little face into the water while her instructor helped her! Huge step. And huge blessing. Thanks for your prayers, you sweetie!

Blessings,
