Take a peak at our back patio

Oh goodness, this patio could tell countless stories.  It was once covered, and dark, rather tomb-esque if you will.  When we bought this house we had such plans for this patio.  Some of them have happened.  Some are still in the works (why can’t house projects just be free?!).  In the fall it is covered with an insane amount of leaves ( 3 large trees are able to drop their leaves on this patio) Currently it is being stained by our little platoon of squirrels dropping and breaking pecans on it as they prepare for cooler weather.  Often there are bubbles and chalk stains.  This patio brings our little family quite a lot of joy.  Simple and fun JOY!

Oh, my little artist – being inspired by nature (at least that is what I like to think!)

Dear Patio – we’re thankful for you.  For the memories, for the frustrations, for the reminders to be content and to find beauty.  Who would have thought all of this could come from a patio?
