Dear Pottery Barn,
You know how to put together an outdoor room like nobody’s business. I got weak in the knees looking at the catalog & had to ask for a moment of silence from the kids. Because my head was spinning.
The kids did give me just a moment.
During that moment I dreamed that I was sitting on a rockers sipping on sweet tea & that my hair was calm & not one big humid curly mess. While I’m at it…I also visioned every pot was full of flowers & the air was a sweet lavender scent.
Thanks for giving me that moment.

always a dreamer of front porch sitting.
On a related note, I ordered a trailer full of fresh mulch for my birthday.
Yep, you read correctly. Mulch.
You see, my friend Kerry started this crazy admiration I have for yards with fresh mulch. It has now become a sickness, thanks to her. 😉 It makes the flowers pop & my heart happy to know I have fresh dark brown hardwood mulch in my flower beds. It also means that Spring has arrived when my mulch has arrived. I can’t wait until Monday.
I also ordered a new tunic for my birthday. This is another serious admiration I have…colorful tunics. Since we are on the subject of me, admitting my weaknesses.
Finally, I wanted to say Thank You for all the bday wishes, they ALL truly made me smile. I was/am so behind on commenting back from the Spring Fling. I usually have a very boring mommy life that just centers around my kids. But this last week was filled to the brim with tons of responsibilities that I don’t normally have. Hopefully, after Tuesday my life will return to it’s boring self & I will be ahead of the game for week 2 of Spring Fling. So many apologies!
With all that said…highlights from week 1 of the Spring Fling will be up soon!

Great post … the creators at PB just have this “way,” don’t they? I had fun in there the other day. I know your outside space is just as beautiful. Becca
