A Southern Life

Southern Outdoor Room

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.

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.
