Party Day…Our Deck

Rhondi is hosting a porch party, and I am very excited about seeing decks, porches, etc. from many places, encompassing climates and decor of all sorts.
We don’t have a porch, so we are welcoming you to our deck today. Please keep our Manitoba climate in mind, as you will notice our summer is just beginning, and plants are not very advanced yet.040 The afternoon sun is highlighting part of the table, and the rest is shaded by the umbrella. I have set the table in green and white, and because it will just be two of us , it is casual.
029049 Before the sun goes down, let’s see what else is on the deck….    another table with some lanterns and plants..050
..a bakers rack which I sprayed light green and which holds green plants..047 ..a bench with more of the tropical print…
 025…and a grouping of potted plants 034

Looking out at the yard, the sun is streaming in from the West.
031the days are longer now and it is still light….at 8:45…053 …and now finally night has fallen…it is now
10 p.m…..054 Good Night, all!059

Edited to add:
We were at our son's home today and I couldn't resist adding a couple photos of his deck and yard. It's a lovely spot!

Millie, What a beautiful post. That last nighttime photo is my favorite. I especially love the pale green Baker's Rack. You have such a lovely way with flowers and decorating! Hope you have a nice week.

You have a gorgeous deck! I didn't have a porch either. So mine was a deck also. Love that green baker's rack. Wish I could find one like it.

Hi Millie
Your deck looks so pretty. I can imagine it must be lovely sitting there in the evening as the son goes down.
Thanks for joining the party. I am happy to some Canadians joining in!
Hugs, Rhondi
I love the Bakers Rack and I would say your plants are looking pretty darn good!
Beautiful tablescape too!

Evenings on the deck are the best!! How beautiful.
So pretty! Your photography is lovely, too. I hope you are enjoying your summer, with its wonderful weather. We're scorching down here in Texas!
Cheers, Andrea
Oh, Millie... your deck looks WONDERFUL. I love how you've tablescaped it, too. I would love to visit you there, and I'm glad you shared it with us.

I'm late to Rhondi's because I got into a fight with a sling chair that wouldn't cooperate. It didn't want to have its picture made. I forced it, and now I'm here!

Happy Porch Party...

XO,

Great pictures of a wonderful patio! Love the night time shots too. And might I add, WOW to your sons yard! What a view.

Your deck is so pretty all decked out for summer! I love the bakers bench and the clock.
The nighttime photo is beautiful and your son has a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the view too.
