    I love all things outdoors….except mosquitos…. I hope that I can use some of these as inspiration to finish a few things myself. It got crazy hot here in Missouri with no rain over the past few weeks. So add in the start of the school year for me and hubs (both teachers) and being 7 months pregnant and this girl is spending time indoors, ignoring the needs of the outside world. I adore that potting bench! And that rocker would look great on my porch.
