Summer Clean Up

by janet on June 25, 2010

Now that we have finally finished all of the extra curricular activities with the kids it feels like we have started the summer vacation from school. Sports and gymnastics have kept us so busy that it seemed that we never got to slow down. This week is the first week we have been able to start our summer.

How did we start it? We are working on getting the yard and patio ready for summer entertaining. It seems like every year we are having to rework the gardens and change the landscaping. I guess I expect that since much of it dies from the winter. What I don’t expect is that I will have to replace my outdoor furniture every year. It seems I can’t find a way to keep it looking good and usable. The table we had shattered this winter under the weight of the snow. Snow! In Louisiana! Then I went to pressure wash the chairs and notice that cushions are all ripping and dry rotted. I would think that furniture made for the outdoors would be made using a fabric that could hold up to the weather. I would be wrong! Now I have to go on a search for new patio furniture so that we can use the patio this summer. Any recommendations?
