It's getting hot in here

I was blasted back to reality yesterday after stepping off the plane from a cool 60 degrees in Denver to a blazing 90 degrees and 50% humidity in Houston. I spent 2 hours soaking my dying grass and flowers in the yard last night as there is no rain in our HOT Houston forecast any time soon.

While waiting in the airport yesterday I browsed through the month's Sunset Magazine edition on all things outdoor, including DIY fountains, gardens, and patio projects.

Love this DIY fountain:


and this outdoor chandelier:


this DIY tipi-trellis would be great for my morning glory vine:


Now that we Houstonians are heading indoor for the summer, the rest of you can play outdoors!
