Patio Parties

Filed under: Front Yard Patio — Louise @ 12:53 pm

A birthday celebration was the inaugural event for the “pathio”.  I wrapped garden stakes in colourful crepe paper ribbon and Dave blew up balloons.  The balloons were affixed to the top of the stakes and put in the ground along the path and around the patio.  We wove additional paper ribbon around the underside of the umbrella and the table was decorated in cheery Spring splendor.  The sun came out just before our birthday guest arrived making everything look all the more inviting.  One day we’ll look back at these photos and chuckle how bare everything looks without the plants but at least we are already enjoying our new front yard.

HALLOWEEN weekend was a great opportunity to bring our neighbors together for a Meet & Greet Coffee Klatch.  The weather was beautiful and everyone arrived with something wonderful to eat.  We welcomed the two newest families to our neighborhood, one which also had a new baby born at the beginning of the month.

Halloween night the weather was cool.  This was ideal for the campfire we enjoyed on the patio where we waited for and  greeted Trick or Treaters.
