Tantalizing, @stevieb ! I love the mellow bricks and the charming fence with flowering shrubs peeking over-- idyllic.

@Oznell @GinaV24 I can't say I'm looking forward to the long hot and humid summer but this year, I am sort of looking forward to spring, assuming we don't jump right into sweltering temperatures. It's predicted to be rather hot today where I am, but will cool off again, for which I'm grateful.

@stevieb @Oznell well I agree that I am not looking to hot and humid weather but I do like warmer weather so I hope you have great weather this summer.

Same here. In Philadelphia today, we are expecting a high of 78 degrees. Crazy for March. As much as I dislike warm weather, at least I can take solace in knowing that it will get cold again. Once May gets here, I won't be happy with the weather again until October!

What a relaxing, serene setting for a nice conversation or reading a book, etc. My favorite part is also the fence, brick posts and all the lush greenery!

Pretty. I'd prefer a solid pillow in a contrasting color with the stripe cushions. I really like the fence and plants.

We seem to always go from winter to summer here with very few true Spring days. Here's hoping for pleasant temps before heat & humidty set in.

@stevieb I know it won't be humid where I am but the last two summers have been brutally hot and seemed to last longer than usual. I become a prisoner in my house. I dread it. I wish October was coming up.

@stevieb

Love the look, but we have a brick walkway and patio similar to this (husband is an expert brick mason).

While it is beautiful, it gets mossy and slippery in the hot, humid summers in Maryland. Then, it's not so much fun.

Outdoor "living" spaces are lovely to look at, but...there is a lot of maintenance to keep it nice.

@Witchy Woman I suspect that's part of the reason for the outdoor rug. I'd have probably chosen a different one (and different cushions) but the outdoor rug makes sense.
