    Creating Whimsy In Your Yard & Garden, Part Two. Pretty mosquito netting, a reading pad, recliner and pillows out in the grass

    As a child, did you ever find a shady place in your yard to build a tree fort or playhouse? We used old sheets and blankets. It was great fun to create a special hideaway with pretend doors, windows and some furniture. This image evoked all those old memories.

    Now that you’re an adult, do you still desire to create a little getaway in your yard?

    As a continuation of Part One, here are some other simple and clever ideas to think on as spring and summer approach.

    Colorful, creative and eye-catching ideas for your yard

    Some are feasible, and others are just for fun! Enjoy!

    Festive porch lighting as party lights

    Colorful shades add a neat touch to an temporary outdoor conversation area

     

    Mosquito netting may be a solution for staying out if you are near water or it is a buggy area. This appeals to me as an outdoor reading nook.

    Create a sheltering nook for reading or conversation

    While not a fan of lots of yard ornaments, this by itself is in good taste

    I have always wanted to do this on a potting shed

    Great use for old headboard in your secret garden, perhaps?

    If you have trees providing some shade to a section of your lawn, this is a very simple and inexpensive idea. Using bamboo stakes (in this photo), it requires lashing with cord at the corners and some support to keep it from leaning.

    Such a billowy and light playshelter that can be taken down quickly.

    Do you enjoy ‘feathering your nest’? Do you have several in your family who are also creative souls? Find an idea you love and brainstorm together to see what you can create in your yard.

    It doesn’t really matter what project you pick; doing it together builds heart strings and lasting memories and serves as a jumping off place for more good times together.

     

    “We are making their memories day by day and year by year, and what they shall be in the future will depend on the home life we are living now. We may make our home a palace, filling it with delights, covering the walls with beautiful pictures, planting flowers to fill the halls and chambers with fragrance, and hanging cages of singing birds everywhere to pour out sweet notes of song; or we may cover the walls with hideous images and ghastly specters to look down upon us, and plant only briers and thorns about the doors to flaunt themselves in our faces when we sit in the gloom of life’s nightfall. We may make the memories of our home so tender, so precious, so sacred, that each life that goes out of our doors shall carry a blessing upon it wherever it moves. Or we may make its memories a perpetual pillow of thorns for our heads, a burden of bitterness and anguish which shall never be lifted or removed.”  ~J.R. Miller, from Home Making

    I always have so much fun dreaming like this!

    What are your favorites?

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
