Our weather this time of year is perfect. We suffer through 3 months of really hot – hot – hot temps during the summer and then Fall arrives and it is perfect. 70 to 80 degrees everyday and nothing but sunshine. This is why we live here. No snow to shovel and yet we can be in snow if we want to with just a 2 hour drive. I love that I can sit on the patio and enjoy our wonderful weather from now until next June. Time to get the outdoors ready for the holidays.
Adding some fall color to the patio is so easy. Just switching out a few pillows and it is done. The curtains on the back wall make the patio feel like a room. I love the roll down shade cloth on the other side too. Nice when the sun is shining in and yet you can still see the yard and the pool. The wicker chair is my favorite place to sit.
From the wicker chair, I have this amazing view.
I love being able to see the pool and all the pretty plants. They have grown so much and are really filling in again. I had everything trimmed back and replanted a few things in September, it was all too overgrown. You can see that post here. Now it looks pretty again.
I didn’t plant a winter garden this year, things have just been too hectic. I don’t mind seeing the garden empty, I will plant one come spring. I do think maybe I will add a couple of chairs and a fire pit to this side of the yard. Maybe where the two potted plants are. If I move them to the back wall I will have about a 20 x 20 foot space for a fire pit.
I think for now the yard is ready to enjoy with my company for Thanksgiving. Then it will be time to get out the lights and decorate the yard for Christmas. Hubby always did such a fabulous job with all the lights. Remember this from last year? We might have a more tamed down version this year.
For now I will just enjoy the patio and the yard without all the lights.
I hope you have fabulous weather for the Holiday too.
Hi Marty,
I know you have really hot summers but then the rest of the year it is so beautiful for you. Glad you can enjoy your outdoor space more now. Have a good new week.

Just beautiful!
Oh add a few twinkle lights for sparkle! I love mine.
Oh, Marty, that view is just amazing. What a blessing to have nice weather except for 3 very hot months.
I cannot imagine how wonderful that must be. Want a roommate? I like doing housework. ♥
I do pray sweet lady that you enjoy your lovely outdoor space. We are having cooler temps today in Florida and it feels so good. Just won’t last long though I am afraid. Enjoy your week dear Marty. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
I love your backyard.
God bless

I love your back yard. Those curtains fascinate me and wish I had some.
What is the orange thing that looks like a big vase on the patio ?
Enjoy your lovely weather and patio. Looks restful.
It is a wheat stalk. I found it at Home Goods a few years ago.
