Outdoor Entertaining

Well, summer is quickly coming to an end here. School will be starting soon, we haven't really had a very hot summer, and I just want to hang on to it for just a bit longer. So, these outdoor entertaining pics keep me hangin' on.


I would love to entertain in any of these outdoor spaces. I think I would serve a nice grilled chicken salad with fresh tomatoes from my garden and some yummy artichoke dip with crispy whole wheat bread. Of course I would have a glass of sweet tea (preferably my Aunt Donna's) over ice to keep me cool. I think I know what I am having for lunch tomorrow!

Aunt Donna, are you making the trip?

Hope everyone is enjoying the last of their summer vacation. Fall will be here before we know it.

Wow - all awesome in their own way! We love to eat outside on our patio, and this summer has been unreal for that - NO BUGS - what's up with that? Too cool this spring and nothing hatched, according to the experts. Whatever the case, it's great!...thanks for sharing the great pics! Andrea
