We dusted off the old furniture, then threw it out .... well, to thecurb where someone quickly snatched it up. It was fine wicker
but I was bored with it ...
& bought this great new set that reclines
like a chaise. Love those cushy pads &
the ottomans. The soft pale green floral
design blends nicely with our terrace
settings.
Now we can lounge, enjoy our birds at
the bird feeders & savor the beauty of our
gardens.
Come join us ...

The colors are so rich ... our iris are in full bloom & stunning.
& warm.
They stand so stately ...
amongst the garden florals.
Shimmering in the sun ...
a myriad of colors.
Soft & gentle ...
bright & warm ...
speckled & bright.
These flowers Mother always gathered to
create a basket bouquet for the graves ...
to remember her parents & brother every Memorial
Day ...
I love them, & the sweet memories they evoke.
~ Have a beautiful day ~
What a lovely patio set to sit and enjoy the sight of those beautiful iris. V
ReplyDeleteI am lovin' your gorgeous iris dear friend! I can see you know...sitiing their on the patio with your feet up admiring them in the garden.
ReplyDeletehugs from here...
You are going to love sitting out there and enjoying that patio set. We bought one last year and we so enjoy sitting out watching the hummingbirds feed at their feeders. Your iris's are absolutely beautiful. It's such a shame that we can't enjoy their blooms a little longer, but thankfully we can enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteYour patio set looks so pretty and comfy. And your iris are just lovely! Mine just fell over this year, too many storms.
ReplyDeleteKimberly :-)
I love the Iris wish it bloomed all summer. Yours are a good color mix. Great looking patio furniture.
ReplyDeleteYour terrace looks lovely! Very comfy and breezy! Your iris are gorgeous, too. I'd love to have a flower bed filled with them!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Beautiful garden! I love that you set your wicker on the street for someone else to enjoy! Somewhere in blogland, someone is posting about their great find, thanks to you. Thanks also for stopping by my post and leaving a comment. It is such a great feeling of connecting with kindred spirits across the country. Have a great week. ~CJ
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new set! Use it in good health, as my mother used to say. Beautiful flowers too! And I sure wish I could have been there when you put your old wicker furniture out at the curb. ;)
ReplyDeleteBest,
Gloria
I am such a fan of wicker but love your new patio set. It looks so comfy and I bet you will enjoy many hours outside just relaxing.
ReplyDeleteYour iris are gorgeous and I love the colors. It's too hot for those I am afraid, so please don't mind me gazing at yours. Love that pinkie color, magical, Char

ReplyDeleteWell gee Marydon you could have thrown it out on MY curb...Just kidding! I am glad someone found it and rescued it. I have some old wicker in my potting shed, but I haven't gotten it out in a couple years. It is looking bad. :)

It's so funny that you set your wicker set by the road - we do that all the time, knowing that someone will find use for our discards. Your garden is lovely, wish I had your green thumb.

ReplyDeleteYour garden flowers are beautiful. You must have just about every favourite iris colour. Just beautiful and they will be in bloom for Memorial day also...lovely.
Your new garden set looks so comfortable and nice. Isn't it great that what was one person's "trash" is now someone else's treasure. I do like how that works.
Enjoy this blessed day and your beautiful garden too.
