I feel like there's only one more month left of summer, and as much as I love the fact that my tomatoes are ripening, the beans are ready to pick and the lawn has stopped sprouting dandelions, I'm not quite ready for it all to end. So I'm spending as much time as I can outside, enjoying all the fruits (or vegetables) of my labor.

Patio Design Ideas
It's not too late to start enjoying your outdoor space. Just last week we finally got around to purchasing a new patio table that doesn't tilt to one side and new outdoor lights that allow us to linger a little longer. In fact, it might be the perfect time to redesign the patio, taking advantage of all those end-of-summer sales.
