Soaking up the sunshine on the deck

March 11, 2013


Y’all. We’re getting the weather we long for all summer in Austin.


Cool, sunny days with a bright blue sky floating overhead and a soft breeze carrying the grape-soda fragrance of Texas mountain laurel.


If you’re in the Austin area, I hope you’re dashing outdoors every single minute possible. I am too. Soak it up!

    It won’t be long and we too will have these lovely days. Enjoy them while you have them. Your deck looks so inviting as do the paths in your garden.

    Thanks, Lisa. I’m living outdoors as much as possible to enjoy these lovely spring days. Soon you will be too! —Pam

    I always say this weather is our reward for living through another hellatious summer.

    Tell me about it, Cindy. Hope you’re getting lots of outside time too in Katy. —Pam
