Despite my recorded joy in snow days, I have to say that I'm really starting to miss dining on the deck. :)
These photos are from last summer -- a little luncheon table to celebrate the warm weather. I keep telling myself that the days are getting just a little longer and a little warmer as each week passes. Before I know it, I'll be filling the pots on my deck.
Right?
RIGHT?

ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI'm right with you - I also can't wait for Spring, spending time on the patio and digging in the dirt.
Thank you for sharing this lovely Mosaic to remind us warmer days are just around the corner.
Hugs,
Tam
Oh yes! Spring and Summer are right around the corner! Beautiful mosaic to keep you going through the rest of winter!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love the hints of green! Green = Life!

We had a deck at our old house and I miss it most when I think of our days living there. Enjoy that beautiful spot you have! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteit is 12:30 Lunch time Monday for me. I have just posted my MM.
Just love your deck images, I am inspired for when our temps drop a little lower.
Our winter is very mild and a deck or balcony is much loved then.
My laptop died so I am been missing for a few weeks...

Your deck is gorgeous. And I love the tableware.... What time is tea?
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to spring! The outdoor table setting is just gorgeous!
ReplyDelete*sighh* Yes just gorgeous -- and you are just teasing us!! ;) BRAT!!
ReplyDeleteWe actually had a little whisper hint of sping today.
Always thanks for the opportunity of meeting together!

Yes Mary, you are right - at least, I hope very much that you are right. Your setting on the deck looks beautiful and looks so inviting. laurie
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be able to enjoy your deck soon. It looks like a lovely dining spot once your weather warms up ;-)

Yes, I've been looking at the pictures of this summer more as the winter goes on, and on, and on . . . .

ReplyDeleteHi Mary!
ReplyDeleteOh I couldn't agree more. I have been so happy to see the daylight stretching longer and longer. I keep looking at out patio table covered in snow and wishing is were warm enough to have a BBQ!
pretty white and green palette!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing. Such beautiful colors and so spring like.
ReplyDeleteDear Mary, RIGHT! Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYour mosaic is so pretty, Mary. I can understand how you could miss a deck as lovely as that...Christine
ReplyDeleteMary
ReplyDeleteYour mosaic is lovely as always and I can see why you miss dining on your deck.
Happy Valentine's Day
I love the simple green and white theme, with the daisies and herbs. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaic Mary! The colours are truly gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteToday in Brisbane Australia the temperature is 33 degrees Celsius (about 91 Fahrenheit) and 61% humidity...I hope the rain that has been predicted for this afternoon cools things down a bit! I will send you some sunshine if you could please send me some cooler weather!
Thanks for having me today and best wishes for a great week,
Natasha.
I can see why you would be missing sitting on that great deck...Beautiful images!

*hugs*deb
I love all those beautiful shades of green. I needed this reminder that spring is on its way.
ReplyDeleteOne of my absolute favorite parts of summer is eating on the deck. Breakfast, dinner, afternoon iced teas, whatever!
ReplyDeleteLovely crisp warm white table setting! I'm even longing for the warm days of Florida! This is quite a winter!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
Hi Mary
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting MM. We have more snow forecast for here in the UK today and tomorrow and like you we are soooooo waiting for Spring!!
That looks a great area on the deck to sit, relax for any meal and I love your tablecloth, birdcage and china.
Have a good day, Jackie in UK.
Nice Mosaic as always, but I'm still in the middle of beautiful winter and love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. Thank you for hosting MM again. I love your mosaic and like you I have spring in my mosaic. We all seem to long for that.
ReplyDeleteYour deck looks so lovely I'm not at all surprised you're missing it. It looks like a wonderful place to dine.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
Maggie
Your deck is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI miss it too.
Happy Mosaic Monday....Luna
Such elegant dining on the deck! The greens and the sunny flower enhanced by white look so wonderful! Delightful mosaic!
ReplyDeleteVotre blog est "beautiful", I like it very much, your "mosaïques" are gorgeous!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA nice week for you and see you again!
Your mosaics are always so inspiring, Mary. Another excellent offering this week. And before we know it, we'll be outside enjoying the beautiful (and warm) weather.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully decorated table, Mary. I would miss it too!
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table. It is so cold in Florida this year that we have not had dinner on the lanai!!!
Beautiful mosaic.
Carol
Lovely, as always! Thank you for hosting this party every week!
ReplyDeleteI needed this to remind me that spring is coming...next month maybe we will see some green poking up in the yard. I need to be in planning mode for the things I want to add this year!
ReplyDeleteWe can only hope! More snow tonight...I can't believe it! Your green and white scheme is so fresh & pretty. Come & visit, I'm having a give-away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting -- and thanks for the reminder that warmer days are coming!!

Green is my favorite color, so I really love this mosaic. Here the birds are singing loud every morning and to me that is the first sign that spring is on its way!
ReplyDeleteRight! The days ARE getting longer. :)
ReplyDeleteThe green and white is soooo pretty and soothing! I'm wishing for spring too; I'm dying for some blue skies and some green! I'm sick of the grey, white and brown of winter! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful deck!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for having your contest. It is always fun to see all the different entries.
ReplyDeleteJoAnn
I miss it too. Although the sun is shining the wind has quite a chill to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing warm visions ;-)
Beautiful photos ~ as always Mary! I want to hand out on my deck too. Maybe some day :)
ReplyDeletePaula Grace ~
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI can see why you are missing the deck-it looks so pretty out there. I love the green and white dishes.
Thanks for hosting,
Carolyn
i would miss that deck too! so lovely...
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI missed out on a couple of weeks of the Mosaic Monday fun. Glad to be back. I'm just so jealous of all your beautiful photography. Every picture is so crisp & bright. Not to mention your fabulous decorating skills. Something to aspire to!
Happy Monday, Mary!
What absolutely stunning shades of green and white!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI understand completely. You are in good company.
Almost every day, I search desperately for signs of warmer weather ahead...little blades of green grass, budding trees, flowers springing forth...something...anything! I need warmth! LOL

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to master this mosaic thing!
Your mosaic made me really yearn for those sweet days of summer and how wonderful it is to eat al fresco!
Yes, I understand missing eating outside. The snow has been pretty but, the cold gets old pretty fast. Of course our Texas summers/heat do too. Guess we just can't be happy. Thanks for letting me play along today. It was my first Mosaic Monday. Charlene
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I miss seeing grass, green or brown at this point:) Lovely images as always, hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! Happy MM!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary - Thank you for being such a wonderful hostess. Today I'm making it my mission to visit every site (though there were a couple I didn't leave a comment on. . . I had some trouble with the one in Hungarian and the Swedish ones, but I loved the photos). Only about 5 to go.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful site. Lovely mosaics. Fun! Thank you for hosting : )
ReplyDeleteDarryl and Ruth
Mary! BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! Your photos ARE so beautiful and will help get me through the next few months while I look for spring to come! Such beautiful photos with wonderful colors! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteGuess we have the same longings for nice warm summer evenings. Just put out a post about almost the same thing.
ReplyDeleteWanted to aks you though how do you enlarge your mosaic this way? I never get it right. And when I do it's all blurry?? Any help would be wonderful if you can find a spare moment. thanks.
Seeing your summer deck with all that green is making me miss mine too.
ReplyDeleteYum! All that luscious spring green and white! I can't wait for the gardens to come back. Looking at these photo just makes me want it more:>)
ReplyDeleteMary - I wish for Spring, I wish for Spring. Thank you for hosting MM. I've had a blast with it!
