A Heart and Home Dinner on the Deck

On a warm summer evening, it's nice to dine outside on the deck.

This is where we spend most of our time in the early morning, late afternoon and early evenings, and on the weekends with friends.
There's a spot to relax, read, and stretch out for a nap on the little wicker couch.

But mostly we like to come out here to eat! Mr. H&H fires up the old fashioned charcoal barbeque and I prepare the rest of our meal in the kitchen that's just on the other side of the french door.

For the table in the summer, I love the cool and refreshing color combination of blue, white and green.

It's nice to mix and match glassware, and fun to have a variety from which to choose.Candlelight is always right at my table, day or night! I love the patina on that copper hurricane.

A round table is cozy for four, and very cozy for six! When there are more of us, we bring out additional tables.

The view of the orchard and the redwoods, the cool clean air, and the sound of the fountain makes this one of our favorite spots to gather. In the evening, we dine under a constellation of glass globes and copper stars brought back with us from Mexico. They cast a warm and welcoming glow over our table, and with additional candlelight, create a festive mood that allows us to linger here well after darkness falls.

Until next time!
