With my condo the only spot I have is a rather weathered deck off the dining room. It was very badly weathered with boards mildewed and starting to rot. .<br />

Missed my old screened porch at Avon .. Could I make something similar? Also not a lot of privacy from 2 homes just over the fence. <br />
Came home from cruise and decided to get busy refurbishing deck. <br />
Unfortunately the condo only allows Thompsons water seal . Did find a cedar colour Thompson's that matched my brick .. Got busy. <br />
My finished product with gazebo installed and new lounge furniture,Added rug and Chinese lanterns that light up in the evening, Candles for a bit of glow. Pots of fragrant plants. Keep the screens drawn so gives a feeling of enclosure and privacy.<br />
Coffee in the morning , lunches and suppers , reading with a glass of wine ,<br />
Might not be a she shed but this she deck makes me very happy.<br />

Almost the end of my transatlantic cruise ..<br />
Ship docked at Le Havre the 2nd busiest commercial port in France . Interesting to see the city which was one of the most heavily bombed during World War 2. It was rebuilt with many concrete buildings. I did not find them attractive. <br />
Boarded a bus for the long drive to Paris. Well worth the ride. <br />

Just stood there staring , a fellow traveller turned to me to say she had just ticked off one of her bucket list items Like myself never thought she would ever get to see it. </td></tr>

Saw many highlights of the city which I think Paris is one of the most beautiful big cities of the world. Lots of parks and tree lined streets. <br />

This lush green island is accented by white buildings with dark trim.Perhaps the green seemed all that more beautiful after so many days at sea. Can understand how ancient mariners were so happy to see these volcanic islands which are 9 in number and 800 miles west of Portugal. <br />

So impressed with the meadows fringed with hydrangea. Not in flower yet tho as I was there in April so instead azaleas and bird of paradise and many other flowers were in bloom <br />

a week stay on Tybee Island.Tybee is a relaxed seaside resort. On Tybee there was some damage mostly very large trees from Hurricane Mathew but we were there 3 weeks after Mathew came thru. Quite amazed at how quickly order was being restored. <br />
Saw lots of country not seen before on our drive to and from Canada . Beautiful Allegany Mountains... Ohio is a very large state.. Virginia and West Virginia lovely. South Carolina has bad drivers... no accidents but only because Sherry is an excellent driver. Rosanne was the navigator and I had the brake in the back seat.. back seat driver for sure.... We saw a lot of Cracker Barrels and stopped of course,<br />

We all found some treasures. Sherry got a lovely sheer top, and a Dorchester heritage history book, Brittany added to her collection of Coca Cola trays, Rosanne purchased soaps from <a href="http://www.jezebelsoaps.com/">Jezebel Wantonly Decadent Artisan Soaps and Perfumes</a> Amusingly names like Trollop, Harlot and Floozy. Rosanne suggested I try the hard shampoo soap which is great for taking when on trips.. <br />
We then came back to have lunch at my home. Made several items but the 2 I particularly felt were successful were caprese with a balsamic reduction<br />

Is there nothing better than strawberry shortcake? Yes I did indulge..<br />
Had a pint of berries that needed to be used up . A search on line and I found this recipe for a small batch of jam at Chocolate Moosey .....<a href="http://www.chocolatemoosey.com/2012/06/05/small-batch-strawberry-jam-for-holidayrecipeclub/">http://www.chocolatemoosey.com/2012/06/05/small-batch-strawberry-jam-for-holidayrecipeclub/</a><br />
Happily it makes just one jar. A tiny bit left over for me to taste.. very good . This is a cooked jam using lemon juice . <br />

The one on the left is a birthday card embossed with gold popped up balloon.. a touch of scallop on one edge. The middle one could be birthday or sympathy soft calla lily stamp embossed and die cut edge in navy , Soft pink liner and soft pink on edge of callas. The last card is another birthday perfect for a male.....4 different stamps, coloured , tho hard to see there is a sun just rising in the picture near the birds .. a die cut of grasses complete the card. <br />

It has finally turned warm after a very cool and wet spring. Now 30 degrees and all the lovely spring green is quickly turning brown from now a lack of water. <br />
Condo living limits my gardening but I have managed to brighten up my front porch and back deck, <br />
Repainted my metal planters one is burnt sienna to match bricks and one in chocolate brown to match chairs and table..... My front porch is north facing so filled planters with shade loving plants from coleus , rex begonias, fuchsia, caladium, trailing alyssum, euphorbia, fibrous begonias and bacopa. Yes I stuffed them .<br />
The front porch is a very private sitting area one I wanted to have immediate plant lushness,<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Moved the pansies to back but kept the hurricane shade and candle in planter on table, the burnt umber container sits by front door. I also made a fairy garden in the bird bath that sits by step.<br />
<br />
On the back deck I did go a bit overboard on planters, 2 railing boxes, hanging fuchsia , so love to see hummingbirds come to visit; 1 window box, herb box, 5 other planters. Seems like a lot but oh the deck is now an oasis of flowers........can hardly wait for them all to fill in . Did not fill them quite as full as the front..... I like watching the flowers grow and spread.....<br />
The step and small window box<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The deck is south facing so picked sun loving for this area , Patriot Violet geraniums, lime potato vine, stocks for scent, white bacopa. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to utilize a metal shelf unit I had to help give the deck more privacy cause over the fence are 2 homes with 2 pools and young children to enjoy those pools...... not that I mind I enjoy hearing children playing and the splashing in the water....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the stand are lots of containers....</div>

We were seated in the sunroom overlooking the garden .Such a pretty room. <br />
We sipped Queen Elizabeth tea considered the champagne of tea. Certainly agree, very smooth with out after taste....... A nectarine spritzer was refreshing... as well. Everything was delicious . Scones light and fluffy.Veggies and fruit tray and finishing with dainty desserts.. Then the girls gave me gifts as well , feeling very spoiled....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This is the second year that Sherry has found a special tea room to try....that were unknown to us.. last year at Abigail's in St George and now Golden Tearoom in Brantford.. <br />
<br />
Thank you so much Rosanne and Sherry for the wonderful afternoon spent together..... So appreciate the outing, <br />

A very sweet Anniversary card made with paper piecing. The image was stamped then coloured with markers. Duplicate stamping done on suede paper for the old man's jacket and the ladies pink skirt. her jacket is cut from a plaid pink paper. Find paper piecing is a favourite technique of mine.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Regardless of the cold wind the sun was bright and strong. Decided to clean front porch , get chairs and table ready for the new season. Scrubbed chairs and made a pansy planter with hurricane shade. The yellow pansies are so cheery.<br />
