Another Vignette on the Patio!!!

I didn't share this part of the patio yesterday cause I wanted to save it and the other post was getting too long. I do NOT want you all to be bored!!! Our weather changed on a dime today, the first day of Fall! It was 80 and summerlike yesterday and now it is COOL! But, that is fine with me. It means we will get to sit around this fireplace at night, sip something warm and cuddle under a pretty throw! We can either pull our chairs up to here or when we have guests we will move the fireplace out to the middle of the patio! It is very light and portable but gives off good heat!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhFK8NxfdwYPzv-k-57JQ3LRQdQ55OsXL-P0Vhyrl6i7Q0DhnpfT7xK3GRqRLzEcqP_tBnEjPXflVHVtdBuL7Hl-ywgwB1QKiAY5Kqz45-Fipa1jz5hpuguHFAG6zY42jxD8mpgR5KL-vz/s1600/IMG_1939.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhFK8NxfdwYPzv-k-57JQ3LRQdQ55OsXL-P0Vhyrl6i7Q0DhnpfT7xK3GRqRLzEcqP_tBnEjPXflVHVtdBuL7Hl-ywgwB1QKiAY5Kqz45-Fipa1jz5hpuguHFAG6zY42jxD8mpgR5KL-vz/s1600/IMG_1939.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I cut some flowers from the yard to make an arrangement in my watering can.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJvjo4Be_1Uf32ANvACI6Xt2zBVXXQeHa_cwW_4HboiPeMoOlXQG9LRJlRQOFn4S-vCX1mqgPW-cgMbZCvaEKEkBkEOICGCPxlRKvhJ3U1-v0ZKV3mTjOws7iDk9JFw7xi4o0AM_96at3D/s1600/IMG_1940.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJvjo4Be_1Uf32ANvACI6Xt2zBVXXQeHa_cwW_4HboiPeMoOlXQG9LRJlRQOFn4S-vCX1mqgPW-cgMbZCvaEKEkBkEOICGCPxlRKvhJ3U1-v0ZKV3mTjOws7iDk9JFw7xi4o0AM_96at3D/s1600/IMG_1940.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The hydrangeas are just starting to change color and I cut alot of them to dry too.  The grasses are blooming and I filled in with somer marigolds too.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiohxOMyZ9q0AiF2MgIz9yyn2zAM7rrdjceINc6FF5y2G5Ydita_t49l17rpT1sZTM5ZOw1jP1YXqThRPfKUChRVPHo9Kr86q4sQUaFkTTUin6AwTs3Xd-Ob4qikya1OBhHcNoxNh7v6PrY/s1600/IMG_1941.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiohxOMyZ9q0AiF2MgIz9yyn2zAM7rrdjceINc6FF5y2G5Ydita_t49l17rpT1sZTM5ZOw1jP1YXqThRPfKUChRVPHo9Kr86q4sQUaFkTTUin6AwTs3Xd-Ob4qikya1OBhHcNoxNh7v6PrY/s1600/IMG_1941.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBfPAlduob8eycmDoAUA-plH-nhT9GldWhs_FAShdRUegOf26HqTBWfwOiLJE5I8kDJpIiid7M7CyEArvnwySAaZYld9IBIDX7bEkyP_cRrT-4_LDUHWLYYpvJ2RdServ6Zhr1sEVjwHC1/s1600/IMG_1942.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBfPAlduob8eycmDoAUA-plH-nhT9GldWhs_FAShdRUegOf26HqTBWfwOiLJE5I8kDJpIiid7M7CyEArvnwySAaZYld9IBIDX7bEkyP_cRrT-4_LDUHWLYYpvJ2RdServ6Zhr1sEVjwHC1/s1600/IMG_1942.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Love this stem and will probably save it when the season is over.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLhfzUamBhsx1DZEQvjowxAK0lyAUZiY90bSxflXSOtkR9-thkRvLHnZ09aZmjF2Dmi7jF_8fmI6_iXz8XlMMBXuffuRtxTXK_vUNe7uccai_v2Rl3wT0bK9Ic0j2BowDp56sgTfaWDfYK/s1600/IMG_1943.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLhfzUamBhsx1DZEQvjowxAK0lyAUZiY90bSxflXSOtkR9-thkRvLHnZ09aZmjF2Dmi7jF_8fmI6_iXz8XlMMBXuffuRtxTXK_vUNe7uccai_v2Rl3wT0bK9Ic0j2BowDp56sgTfaWDfYK/s1600/IMG_1943.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I also placed a small pumpkin on the watering can.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIL5arxRQ0Tct7fWsqK8pzfqZYEOQnyfAHr9RbGbiuZXiCygys92Kkc3ULEVrp9szhMw2cGQz85M3vVIwXXhGfY_E7YyFfn4HvZ8kJBYFKvotIcog0ingXv6ECRwjTXWexF2BYNtuWkTB5/s1600/IMG_1946.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIL5arxRQ0Tct7fWsqK8pzfqZYEOQnyfAHr9RbGbiuZXiCygys92Kkc3ULEVrp9szhMw2cGQz85M3vVIwXXhGfY_E7YyFfn4HvZ8kJBYFKvotIcog0ingXv6ECRwjTXWexF2BYNtuWkTB5/s1600/IMG_1946.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlvZdDKcINMf48j8h6KEnCH5CgiAAJfKAOtQ5RiVx4Z0W2e-edlMYnB0jz-i87kKp-C6zy9V__zelumgiw8FdJOvXrOd7D92kI9kIhcgMTv64FS4caKLg8IZOixObRU8Mdr8nXjnRRdIDw/s1600/IMG_1947.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlvZdDKcINMf48j8h6KEnCH5CgiAAJfKAOtQ5RiVx4Z0W2e-edlMYnB0jz-i87kKp-C6zy9V__zelumgiw8FdJOvXrOd7D92kI9kIhcgMTv64FS4caKLg8IZOixObRU8Mdr8nXjnRRdIDw/s1600/IMG_1947.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This lantern is a bug repellent.

I long for Spring when I can go outside and enjoy gardening and just beng outdoors. So, I bring the tropics to my kitchen. It calms me and reminds me of all the good times I have had in Florida for MANY years. The buffet area has 2 pots with greens, a palm tree vase and another vignette to the right side.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2r6Ig-5O5f0_8BFNTnbcQcZxeEZKcKCMIHWAqw5e9O1Uy1A_wBlEs5fntP2gGp8doPxATFEEtR3IKleezkCyU6IUBJiODUYBz9jPq4CnSPe-izDkkWgvODttwYmKn9Bz7UVy3jQU8bz4/s1600/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2r6Ig-5O5f0_8BFNTnbcQcZxeEZKcKCMIHWAqw5e9O1Uy1A_wBlEs5fntP2gGp8doPxATFEEtR3IKleezkCyU6IUBJiODUYBz9jPq4CnSPe-izDkkWgvODttwYmKn9Bz7UVy3jQU8bz4/s640/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTL7_13a9JeVgZvdkWDmaW1PC_2nMH7pfnR4zmOwPOOBeB1iXwnKlo3UJBIKBiOHaUFscED1LpjuVknOcBpad82woQXhszNiz4qPIptjEsW0rU8LDynMhUbT3BvNRmx14xwewTZ5tCOEk/s1600/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTL7_13a9JeVgZvdkWDmaW1PC_2nMH7pfnR4zmOwPOOBeB1iXwnKlo3UJBIKBiOHaUFscED1LpjuVknOcBpad82woQXhszNiz4qPIptjEsW0rU8LDynMhUbT3BvNRmx14xwewTZ5tCOEk/s640/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+003.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnOIqsNqfDq_HQ6H-vW0leAIKiUn6v_5nP3K_tglvsm3ta8wlmIeVL1bRL3d4PxFyunPq0nqnGRwRKpry-i8eQGXlQMz-ypYO1QPCG22C0sp49-JCPsMf7zrgeaL7iyUMgRiiZG3qho2M/s1600/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnOIqsNqfDq_HQ6H-vW0leAIKiUn6v_5nP3K_tglvsm3ta8wlmIeVL1bRL3d4PxFyunPq0nqnGRwRKpry-i8eQGXlQMz-ypYO1QPCG22C0sp49-JCPsMf7zrgeaL7iyUMgRiiZG3qho2M/s640/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> On the oven are 2 palm tree towels.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTjBwcep9RX0zKZ_STo8nSzPzWvySo6k1jDSrdrKI6vZlHur4VcS1s8NUjxbOAFcsUhK8YBJtnFIPZUXgaoLkbceUABbn9i_61LZVvO-1RBIQsgG7s6sdpxvxL0Znd_6vtDd9Msw6OzAo/s1600/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTjBwcep9RX0zKZ_STo8nSzPzWvySo6k1jDSrdrKI6vZlHur4VcS1s8NUjxbOAFcsUhK8YBJtnFIPZUXgaoLkbceUABbn9i_61LZVvO-1RBIQsgG7s6sdpxvxL0Znd_6vtDd9Msw6OzAo/s640/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+005.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> Going around the room to the right.... the stove area<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieV7aHnQX9HiCHmC54tYrdQVUYnYA4CB52_TawBpAepCQfjIzVRnuwITHPfIbbwCV1m6nenWowZwH9HviUuqPxLQIr5FyRiIKf2k3Rq5y4KzFlYZE-nG-w_vndpV5f0Za_rVXv7T8J5yg/s1600/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieV7aHnQX9HiCHmC54tYrdQVUYnYA4CB52_TawBpAepCQfjIzVRnuwITHPfIbbwCV1m6nenWowZwH9HviUuqPxLQIr5FyRiIKf2k3Rq5y4KzFlYZE-nG-w_vndpV5f0Za_rVXv7T8J5yg/s640/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+006.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> sink area<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCvH1qaeQtBN1hPltN8C1bPLzoj5Yc3wxKZkjBd_2GoMpnxDmoZiudiZv6_IHfwFiksgB4XN6MlVb6NWbzAB8BEds0ytyJpZy8BEEH5vVd3Z-XzuRlI_cHPTBL_6WAnN4RXHSp7UHsHA/s1600/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCvH1qaeQtBN1hPltN8C1bPLzoj5Yc3wxKZkjBd_2GoMpnxDmoZiudiZv6_IHfwFiksgB4XN6MlVb6NWbzAB8BEds0ytyJpZy8BEEH5vVd3Z-XzuRlI_cHPTBL_6WAnN4RXHSp7UHsHA/s640/Palm+kitchen,+daytime+007.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> some close ups: I got this palm tree lamp many years ago at WALMART!!!
