My wonderful husband made reservations for just the two of us at a cabin in the mountains...WHOOO HOOOO!!
Because of the HOT temperatures and unstable atmosphere (thunderboomers) I thought it best to bring the hanging containers and regular containers to the downstairs patio. I gave a few of them a haircut and juiced them all up with some vitamins in hopes that they will thrive while we are away.
Hey Tootsie, over at http://tootsietime.blogspot.com/ this downstairs area has not one plant or decoration on it.........Now, I wonder just what you would do with it? This area is my next project and I am really in need of ideas........from all of you!! It's under the upperdeck so rain water does come through. Up the first flight of stairs to the left is the lower deck with the above ground pool.
There are two doors down here, the one you see goes into the downstairs apartment and there is one to the left of the photo that goes into the basement. We leave tomorrow morning and will return sometime Saturday!
I am way too excited and cannot wait to share photos of our trip....What a doll of a husband I have!

Have a fun and safe trip!--Randy
Aww, that's so sweet!! Have a wonderful time. Your under deck area looks nice, you don't see many that clean and tidy. What a challenge! We just need to find you something that will go crazy in total shade! Happy 4th of July!!
Have a wonderful time! It always so good to get away. Your hubby seems so sweet. :) -Jackie
Hi Darla. Looks like you will have a lot of shade and indirect light in your new area. Bromeliads would do very well there. And going away on vacation is a snap. Just pour water in the "vase" and you're done. Certain orchids would also do well there.
Happy a happy 4th of July and enjoy would mini-vacation. You deserve it.
Thanks Darla for joining in on Wednesday Words, there are no rules, and I think that you did a great job.
Have a great trip.

I just got back from the mountains last week Darla! It was wonderful. Your hubby is so sweet to you. I hope you have a great time!
Have a great time. I think your patio area already looks really pretty.
I hope you enjoy your getaway!
That looks like a wonderful area where you put the plants!!! Have a wonderful getaway!!!!
A weekend in the mountains sounds wonderful. Have a relaxing get away, eat some great foods, and come home rested and happy.

YOu could do so much with that space! I would get some furniture and put down there and add some pots! I know it will get wet when it rains, so you could always bring the cushions in if it rains. Get some nice decorations to hang on the walls, even some plants to hang on the wall
You were probably wise to move your plants into that lower deck. Have a safe and wonderful trip.
First of all your header photo is striking! Great Wednesday Words ! Have a great weekend..Florida..your possibilities are endless for that patio!! :)
Have a great trip! I wish I could leve the heat and humidity again.
Jake
Enjoy your trip. Guess mountains aren't in east Tennessee, because I just know you would come to meet me while on your trip. :)
Hi Friend, WELL---I hope you all have a wonderful vacation. It's not too hot up here now and less humid. I think your mountain vacation will be SUPER. I'll be anxious to hear all about it.
Be safe traveling.
Hugs,
Betsy
