Pool

Today, I am dreaming of the perfect pool. I have thought about this, often.....I have a pinboard dedicated to it. We came close to putting one in this summer....but I pulled the plug (pun intended). The timing wasn't right.....and if I have learned anything in life....don't force it!  Here are the features I like in a pool.... long stirs that run the entire length of the shallow end

Shopping on-line for Outdoor Rugs

I love choices! I don't know about you, but when I am looking for something, I wan to see all the possible choices available. Today, I am looking for an outdoor rug to go on my front porch. Here are the three choices, all from Ballard Designs, that I have narrowed it down to.....

and the winner is

This rug; I can't believe the price, too good to be true. I'll post photos when it arrives. Happy on-line shopping.
