Since the party started.......
Mike and I started our own little party outside on Fathers day.
I made his favorite meal, and afterwords we decided to head outdoors.

WOWZA, what a party it is so far. This party by the end of the week will have hundreds and hundreds of links.

| Here is the line up for the rest of the week. |
You MAY link up here or go visit any one of these blogs when their party starts and link up there as well.

| Mike chillin! |
Kim is next up for outdoor patios and deck.
Well seeing I shared my day time summer deck, I thought I would share our evening party deck.
I never took evening pictures, so I thought I would try my hand at that.
LOTS of trial and error.
My bad, I had to bring the laptop outside, so I could start to blog hop. Mike understood, and we still were able to chit chat. If I left you a comment and there were typo's that is why...
not good at multi- tasking anymore.
Getting the tiki's going. Believe it or not we do NOT have a huge mosquito problem back here.
In fact, never get bit, I guess they do not like me!
Fire is cooking now...

| Taking night time photos is practice..I have a long way to go. |
And this is the patio by night....
and by Day...
Some of you gals asked me about this rug.
It is suppose to be for outdoors and I bought it at Walmart (Better Home and gardens collection), However, it went back the next day. It retains way too much moisture and I could see it would be a problem with rain and dampness. SIGH...it really is pretty if you have an enclosed room.

I'd say you did pretty darned good at taking night photos. Everything is ultimately more romantic at night, isn't it? Love it..but it is too bad about the rug! xo Diana
I love your summer deck, Debbie! It looks great, especially at night!
How pretty it looks and I think your night time pics are great...much better than I could do! I really had big plans to get my act together and start our headboard but so far, it hasn't happened and I think my in-laws are coming down this week so...back burner:( I do plan on visiting all the fun links though!
Love your nighttime deck. So pretty. We don't have a mosquito problem either thank goodness. I think the bats keep them at bay here.
Great place to relax - pretty. To bad about the rug, as it is pretty. I have not had any luck with night time pictures.
Your outdoor space is so pretty! I can't believe that rug came from Walmart!
Everything looks so pretty! I think you did a great job with the night pics. It's all so inviting.
Really nice to have multiple outdoor spaces. Looks like you two have it covered nicely. I think the night time shots are good. ~ sarah
I love the fire pit area. I can see the kids making smores down there. Too bad about the rug. I had been looking at those, so now I know to skip it. Your whole backyard area looks awesome!
Debbie,
Your so cute with your laptop on your lap. I love the deck at night! The lights are so pretty. To bad about the rug.

Looks great!
I'm coming right over. You look already for me to visit. Great tiki torches for the skeeters. A fire pit to keep us toastie. A laptop to keep us blog savvy. What more could one ask for.
Hey, at least the rug made a post before heading back to Wally World. It did look to nice for outdoors. But glad it popped by for a photo opt...
Very pretty night time photos! Love your tiki's. It's waaay to HOT here for a fire though! Looks like it was a nice evening.
I can't take night pictures for the life of me! Yours turned out nice. Love the tiki torches!! No mosquitoes? Lucky you!! They must really like me!!
Love that rug but you had a good reason to return it. Too bad.
Have a great week, Debbie!
XO,
Jane

What kind of laptop do you have that has that oversized monitor and (I'm guessing) full sized keyboard? How cool!
Wow Debbie, this is an amazing backyard! I love the "camp" feel it has with that fire pit and I really would like to be the one invited to sit at that glowing table!
Nicely done!
