I LOVE "outback chic", and think your patio is charming.
ReplyDeleteAwww...thanks Luv !
ReplyDeleteJust the image of "lying on a sun lounge mattress".. makes me want to fly down there and join you! Oh and with cold coffee! 💖
ReplyDeleteOnly thing missing is a long clothesline that runs the length of the backyard, Loaded with the week's wash hanging out to dry. How I hate it, my clothes feeling rough against my skin.
ReplyDeleteGot a couple of those strung between trees.
DeleteYou yourself are the wild artist, aren't you? Forget Cezanne! Let's eat those tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteAll wild things have an expiry date. I am winding down:)
DeleteI love this...and I love your photo! Welcoming and filled with sunshine...
ReplyDeleteThink I'd pick a lively, lived patio rather than pretty & blank. I was just out admiring tomatoes earlier. :)
ReplyDeleteMagical poem
ReplyDeleteOh yes, rural cool for me too!
ReplyDeleteLove Little River.
Yep..they were great !
DeleteI like my outdoors to be the outdoors too, no pretensions.
ReplyDeleteLove my clothes doing a dance on the washing line - hate the bother of bringing them in for some reason...
