Brunch in the courtyard

We have had flooding this week in our little river town.  I know from experience how devastating it can be to have your home or business flooded.   Our business was flooded several times and it pains me to think of all of the hard work that is involved to get things back to some kind of order.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the flood victims in Nashville as well as here in our state.
On a good note, it’s beautiful here today and I’m going to have brunch and dinner in the courtyard.

 

Let’s go for a little stroll.

Front garden

 

 

My philodendron a few days ago

 

 

Here it is today.  It finally bloomed for the first time!  Hooray!

 

 

 

Would you believe I got these geraniums at Lowes on their discount shelf for .80 each?

This fern for $6.00.

They will look better after a few weeks of tender loving care.

Bob Marley got a new hair style….

I found this outdoor fabric at Wal-Mart's close out sale last year for $3.00 a yard.

I found these green Melamine dishes at Wal-Mart. 

 

 

I love to use my potted  herbs for center pieces.

This old screen door was original to the house.  We found it in the basement.  My husband attached it to the end of the Pergola and I LOVE it.

 

 

 

I found these handmade glass ceiling fan pulls in New Orleans.

We got the old bricks for the floor from an old distillery that was torn down. 

They make the courtyard look and feel as if it has been here for years.

 

 

 

 

 

 Albert likes the feel of the cool brick’s in the morning.

 

 

or the garden bench.

 

 

Hummm…it’s almost time 

 

 

 

 

Think I’ll just relax and have a

 

 

Bloody Mary.  YUM!

There’s nothing more relaxing than trickling water.

 

 

Yep! That’s right!  It’s a rat fountain!  Google rat fountain if you are interested. 

Moe is their cousin and he sits in the Hosta garden.

 

 

One of my favorite thing’s to do is to sit in the garden and look at recipe books.

 

 

 

Did you get the new Ballard’s Design Catalog this week?  Wasn’t it just yummy?

I think I need a refill.

Thanks for the visit!  Hope to see you all in the courtyard again soon. :-)

 

 

 

Look at his face!  I believe he’s been in the Bloody Mary’s!

Hope you have a great weekend!
