This spot is quiet and peaceful. All the action is on the other side of the house. This is the perfect place for me to hide when I’ve just about had it. If they ask me one more time “what’s for supper”….I’m going to explode! Anyway…..check out that bicycle. It was a $10.00 find at a garage sale. But those chairs are my pride and joy. Antique store treasures! 
I mostly arrange with 2 or more chairs, but we never sit and have a lovely conversation. We work together 24/7…..we all need our space. Haha These chairs were actually given to me for free. Can’t beat a deal like that! 
My “ring of fire” that Candace and I built. A chair for each member of the family. Now in the fall when it cools down….we do spend time together around the fire. Earl might spend a whole 5 minutes and then he’s off to the house…..party pooper! 
I love my red checked tablecloth. I realize now that I don’t take enough time to sit and enjoy all my hard work. So, tomorrow I think I’ll drink my iced coffee on the patio. After I finish mowing the yard…and milking the cows. Your favorite Milkmaid………………Carol
All looking magnificent Carol!

Thank you from one gardener to another…🙂 I have to remind myself to sit but don’t do it enough. There’s always weeds to pull too. 🤔 and watering….

You have created four of the most beautiful havens of peace and quiet for some much needed respite from the challenges of being the Milkmaid! The only question that I would have is…how do you choose which one to go to? Or perhaps by rotating the equally delightful spots, it takes time to find you as you grab those few minutes of rest. I definitely love that “ring of fire” spot, what a lovely family gathering area with those gorgeous potted plants. It is the first pictured area that really causes me to go back in time. Your antique chairs were found in almost every yard back in my childhood days. My Gram had 6 of them on her huge side porch. Over the years they were painted in various colors, as they tended to rust when left out in the elements. I have a memory from my teen years of my eldest sister and two older boy cousins painting each of the chairs in a different rainbow hue of red, yellow, orange, green, blue and purple. They then painted the table in splashes of all the colors. Gram loved it! Enjoy your summer! Thank-You!

Thank you for the compliment, Ellen. I do have to rotate because I create each area as a place I want to go to. A girl needs many options, right? 🙂 I enjoy hearing about your childhood memories too. The older I get the more I appreciate my childhood memories. Enjoyed hearing from you again.
