Now that spring has finally arrived after a long winter, the garden is thriving. Naturally we have to have lots of outdoor places to sit and enjoy the next several months. Here are a few places around Two Holt to relax. Pick your favorite! If the weather’s nice we can sit outside in Boots’ Run. We have matching gliders in this area which looks out on our back lot that stretches to Wyanoak Road. Or we could enjoy the rockers or bench on the bedroom balcony overlooking Hickory Hill Road and Mirror Lake. Maybe we’ll venture outside a little more to enjoy the Adirondack chairs in the middle of our Sitting Garden. Or maybe you’d like the bench in front of the shrub garden... If you’d like to have lunch outside on the screened deck, we could eat here... Or we could have dinner for a bigger group in this spot... But my favorite place to sit is in one of my big, comfy rockers where I can curl my legs up in the chair as I rock. I’ve never sat in a more comfortable chair! Maybe we’ll just have to try them all multiple times before you pick a favorite. Come sit a spell at Two Holt!

Our bedroom balcony has been begging for attention for quite awhile. Honestly, I’d walk out, look around, and walk back inside— uninspired. I loved the view of Mirror Lake... I loved watching the birds at the feeding station... But inspiration for the small balcony just wasn’t coming to me. Then one day I looked at the furniture pushed up against the wall and decided to try moving it around. Voila! Inspiration started flowing. Angling the furniture a bit made all the difference. Then I started adding small extra touches. An outdoor rug always makes a space cozy... And of course a nice feature pot and a small fountain for splashing water sounds... Window pane art brightens up the space... What a perfect place for our hummingbird feeder chandelier! And an iron tray feeder of peanuts for the birds adds a nice touch. Containers of bright colorful flowers and an old copper watering can... Isn’t it lovely? It’s our new favorite morning spot! Yes, I know we have to paint this furniture, but we’re busy getting our gardens in shape. We’ll paint soon. I promise!
