Just a revisit to a long ago post about my back deck and how I set up a relaxing spot to sit using vintage items and/or DIY projects.
My Serene Spot 3 ways was first posted back in 2013 and I know not everyone has seen it. Sharing on this snow filled day keeps me sane as I can’t wait for warm summer days and more time out here in the cool of a June evening!
I figured if you live where winter still rages on you would enjoy this as much as I.
Come on over and rest a spell.
I will pour you a glass of wine and we can sit and talk.
I have this little spot on my back deck that is waiting for you.
It isn’t fancy…
Just restful and quiet on a warm summers evening.
The softest of breezes is blowing…
it brings along the sweet perfume of roses.
Take a deep breath and enjoy.
We can watch the hummingbirds stop by to take a nip from a bright petunia blossom.
Their grace and beauty are a site to behold.
Oh….
Can you hear the robins singing?
They have enjoyed the warmth of the day and now are tucking their babies into bed.
Their song is a lullaby that calms and comforts.
The only other sound is the gentle melody of the fountain.
Just sit back, put your feet up and relax.
Do you need an extra cushion?
Maybe a refill on that glass of wine?
I will go get that for you now.
“wishing you were actually here to really enjoy”

June 29, 2013 at 6:04 amI just pulled stuff from closets I had tucked away, so it is nice to be able to mix it up with what you have and no $$$ spent.

I’ve been away, back visiting my old roots and how lovely to be invited to join you in your peaceful spot.
It looks lovely and to see the humming birds would be extra special as I’ve never seen one.

June 29, 2013 at 6:03 amI hope you enjoyed your trip. Welcome back, the heat has arrived. The veggies should be happy and so am I. Love Summer!

July 1, 2013 at 6:49 amActually, I prefer beer, and if you look close you might see one lurking beneath the ice under that bottle of wine. 🙂 I have been wanting to use that trunk and found a perfect job for it. It is a great place to sit in the evening. Last night I wrote my latest post there and enjoyed just being.

July 1, 2013 at 7:28 amI love your outdoor area! Your water feature looks greats and, I bet, is so soothing to listen to while relaxing outside!
Pamela says
July 1, 2013 at 8:09 amIt is very relaxing. The soothing sound of water meshes so well with the birds singing. Plus the birds come in close for a drink or a shower in the flowing water making for a show not to be missed.

July 1, 2013 at 8:36 amIt’s really a lovely space. I like so many of your accents–the old trunk might be my favorite. The overall feel of your “serene spot” is inviting…I’m sure you enjoy it.
Pamela says
July 1, 2013 at 2:14 pmI do enjoy it and now it is my spot to sit and write in the evening. Love it, more than I anticipated.

July 1, 2013 at 1:21 pmHow lovely, don’t mind if I do join you! After the week I’ve had and the weekend, it would be lovely to sit in your lovely outdoor area listening to the water and the sound of a glass of wine filling a glass. Beautiful calming post. Chel x

July 1, 2013 at 2:15 pmWe all seem to need a special retreat in this hairy life. My week has turned into a blur of work so each evening I will revel in the quiet here and let my mind and body relax.

Pamela says
July 4, 2013 at 8:09 pmI do too, my fountain is one of my best features on my back deck.
