Between the rain, I have been outside creating another outdoor room/seating area. I need some blogger help. The umbrella I have is several years old. I am thinking about painting it with a weatherproof outdoor paint. Any suggestions?
Here is what I created today.
You may remember my planters. They flank the table next to the bench.
There is catnip in the middle for my sweet Callie Cat!

Vegetables and herbs flank the table.
The tomatoes already have blooms and tiny fruits!
Ready for Spring and Summer, outdoors!
Ready for a new season here at A Southern Life. Any transformations going on for

Today’s Lagniappe: Arugula Salad
Now is the perfect time for some rocket lettuce!

* 1/3 – 1/2 lb Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the arugula. Add the grated cheese. Toss lightly and serve.

I love your new outside room and your porch setting. I know I love changing my sunroom for the seasons. I need to get busy on the patio and my woodland garden.
