Much of the time we don't have consistent internet or cell signal so it's hard to keep up with my blog friends. I love what you've done with your patio. It's so inviting! I love Black-Eyed Susan. My local garden shop has seeds to grow them every Spring and I hope to give that a try one of these days so I don't have to buy new plants every year. Just plant my own!<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-16140464176689043742022-08-14T06:21:10.351-07:002022-08-14T06:21:10.351-07:00I'd love to see this little vine come back on ...I'd love to see this little vine come back on its own, Kim. As is the case with a few other flowers I have on the patio, this vine doesn't get the amount of sun it should get to produce an abundance of blooms. However, I do like the way the vine climbs. xoA Joyful Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604235087317891071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-24472591701127049482022-08-14T06:18:33.702-07:002022-08-14T06:18:33.702-07:00Thank you, Deanna. :) xoThank you, Deanna. :) xoA Joyful Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604235087317891071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-17686838097784831452022-08-14T06:17:29.463-07:002022-08-14T06:17:29.463-07:00How nice to have a water spigot on your patio, Lyn...How nice to have a water spigot on your patio, Lynn!

I love that climbing vine, so pretty. You know we have one and it's also an annual, but we've planted it for so many years now, it just comes back on its own. It may take a while...or not, next year, you might just have a sprout in that pot!

I know what you mean about lugging water about for pots. My open sunny patio is full of pots with deer resistant annuals and thankfully the spigot is right there. But I don't bother with the hose with all the unwinding and winding so I have to carry water 2 and 3 times a day.<br />I like your new furniture and with it folding, you could store it in the winter so it does not get ruined in the icy weather.<br />I love looking at plantings and yours are more than lovely. Glad you got some rain. This weather in USA has been a very crazy and sometimes distructive season.

I was a little concerned about losing some privacy by taking off the bamboo screen, but once I saw how much better the lattice looked without it, I'm glad I removed it. xoA Joyful Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604235087317891071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-70557008795541674982022-08-07T15:59:06.903-07:002022-08-07T15:59:06.903-07:00It looks charming and inviting!
