Dinner...

With this weekend's beautiful weather, we have been able to eat on the patio often. We almost always do in the summertime, but the rain has frequently spoiled those plans this year. I recently set the table with one of our sets of lighthouse dishes.

 

 

I made a patriotic ice cream cake for dessert, which was very easy!

 

 

 

The fountain and planters are on the patio.

 

After eating outside, I love reading on the patio until it gets dark.

Then I can watch the lightning bugs' display in the backyard while

listening to the crickets and tree frogs. To me, it's the perfect

way to end a day!
