Our date nights became few and far between during May. The reason was that Mr. Mickey and his crew were building a new pergola by his pool.
Later this week, the pool will be open for the enjoyment of family and friends. Thankfully it is heated, so we won't have to wait for summer to actually arrive.
Among the many interests, Mr. Mickey and I share is a love of beautiful grounds and surprises in the garden. There are several sculptures, a fountain, and benches tucked into the corners of his property.
There are also meditation gardens where you can sit on a bench and watch the birds and squirrels, soon forgetting that you are in the midst of a city neighborhood.
My jacket is navy linen from Coldwater Creek. Cool spring days are the perfect time to wear a three-quarter sleeve jacket. The cream-colored tank and tan pants are from Talbots. The gold studded sandals are by Kenneth Cole Reaction via T.J.Maxx.
I hope the sun is shining where you are and that you have a lovely day.

Soon those colorful vines will wrap around the columns and travel across the top of the pergola.
