Today I'm participating in
Here's why...we are heading out my back door through the patio and to the backyard.

Right out the back door is this rack that hangs on the wall. I tried to make it look cute for y'all. Originally my plan was to put lots of live plants on it but the shelves really aren't tall enough. My hubby and boys gave this to me for my birthday one year.
I love this wall rack. Tina at Cherry Hill Cottage has the same one only hers is dripping in her adorable dishes! Well, you can just imagine how adorable it is.
You know there's a cloche party coming up. Have you marked your calendar?
Now on out to the backyard. Here's a little peek at my potting bench. Can you tell how windy it is today? The caladiums are pooped from blowing around.
Are you wondering what that rock is? When our son was little he sat and rubbed a stick on that soft red rock until the cross was formed there. I like having those little signs of childhood around - he's 17 now.
The fish are coming up to say hello! Really they just hope to be fed. Like puppies.

Makes me a little sad to see your huge geranium. Mine was huge a few weeks ago and I divided it. I miss that huge thing! The fish rush to the top of the tank every time I walk past the saltwater aquarium (hey, we have a new fish!) I love that sweet stone. You should give it to his bride some day if you can bear to part with it. And I love what's on your wall, Ms. Stacey!

Oh I really like that Close the Door sign!! Fun. I'm getting ready for the Cloche party :0)
Happy O.W. to you...
What a nice post. I love the bubbled glass cloche! The fish are adorable, and I love the red rock story!
I love your metal shelf piece...how versatile...you can display any number of things on that.
Very special rock, too...it is nice to have those little reminders around!
;-D
Every time I read my blog list I get new ideas. Isn't it wonderful. I love your rock with the cross.

Happy Outdoor Wednesday Stacey! I love your shelves! I have shelves with plants...but maybe I ought to take the plants off it! Thanks for sharing your photos.~ Susan
I love that Shut the door sign.. but that rock with the cross... Oh My Gosh PRICELESS!!

I never get bored with your blog. Two categories and both of them are nicely presented. I like the shut the door sign, the cross engraved, and the vibrant red geraniums. Hope your week is going well.
Your garden is just lovely! I love your shelf and the shut the door sign.Thanks for sharing and Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
Love that shelf! And your "Shut The Door" sign is precious. You're right! We all need one :O)
Very cute. I am always telling my husband to shut the door (to keep the flies out)! Thanks for sharing.
I need a sign like that for my kids...but only half of them can read! :) Ha! Nice outdoor shelf...Very pretty.

I need that sign for my back door. :-)
Love your fish-- especially their color.
What a cute rack, I just love that. I love cloche's also so I will have to watch for the party. The fish are adorable, thanks for sharing with us.

I love that rack on your wall and that bubbled cloche is FABULOUS!!! When and where is the cloche party?
Those fish are too funny wanting to be fed all the time. They are like the ones by the marina at the lake.....constantly wanting to eat!
I do think you're right. Everyone needs a Close the Door sign.
Oh, thanks for sharing. I seriously need a sign like yours. How cute, and the colors - PERFECT.
lol! I so could use the Shut The Door Sign for sure!!!
Great pictures girl! My favorite is the last one. Beautiful!
Stacey, I need a Shut the Door sign BAD!!! Where did you get that little sucker? Your little wire shelf rack is adorable, too. Just keep filling it up with anything and everything- Your blog header is so bright and colorful, btw... Sue
I remember seeing that Shut the Door sign at Target a few years ago and I never bought it. It is so cute. Thanks for the little outdoor tour.

Hi Stacey! Love that sign! How many times did my mother say that? :P
Love your cloche. I'll be at the party too!
be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
The stone is such a keepsake.
Fish do become like puppies don't they. I ate in a restaurant once with an indoor pool of fish. They would come part way out of the water and beg for food at your table.
Your pictures are so pretty Stacey, I love the wire shelf with the sign and accessories! You asked about the pineapple sage...it really likes a sunny location, but can tolerate some shade...it has the most beautiful red tubular flowers that hummingbirds go crazy for...it usually blooms in the fall for me, which is fine..when there isn't as much going on, it looks great with mums and pansies too! Have a great week...I'm off to Florida in the am...talk with you next week! Miss Bloomers/Sonia
Enjoyed your pictures. I especially love your wire shelf. How lovely.
I've nominated you for an award on my site.
happy outdoor wednesday, thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures, what a great idea.
Love the creative wallnettes you've made.
Hello, fish. How neat they are and what a lovely yard you have. Happy outdoor Wednesday.
I have all sorts of signs in and around my house, too! Your yard makes me writhe with envy! GREEN envy! :)
Loved your post and the wire shelf, I have one similar. Mine is indoors with a collection of McCoy pottey sitting on it. BTW, the rock is priceless.

From the wire shelf to the gold fish it all looks so nice.
Stacey, I always have fun when I come to your house! There is just so much to see and do. I loved seeing the fish today. Have a great day! Twyla
Cute shelf. I'm loving your bubble glass cloche, too. It's cute how the fish come up to be fed. ~ Robyn
I think your rack is perfect with splashes of reds and against the brick wall :-)
I also like the fact the you kept that rock that has a memory of your son during his childhood years. I think it's a nice conversational piece too :-)
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

Stacey, that is about the cutest rack ever! I love the way you have it arranged.
I love, love, love red geraniums!!

Look at those fish!! How awesome is that? I really liked your sign too, who doesn't need one of those right? Very pretty...
Jennifer
Your photos are great, I especially love the fish one. Your pond is awesome...love the rocks on the bottom.
What is the secret to geraniums...I always end up killing them.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!!
Everything looks lovely!! Gorgeous pond! Cloche Party? Where...When? I wanna join!

Everything looks great. Love your son's rock.Sometimes I really miss those young days. Mine are 18 and 21 now.
I enjoyed my visit so much. Thanks for the stoll. The shelf is great and I like what you've done with it.
Mama Bear
Love that cute rack and all the stuff you have on it! I have got to get me some geraniums to enjoy this summer. Yours is gorgeous!
I need a "Close the Door" sign for my house. I love the rack. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Oh, I love the shut the door sign - too cute! Can't wait to see the cloche party - how fun. :)
Hi, Just came across your site via cozy little house. And I love it - so pretty. Really like the shelf and your outdoors looks beautiful. I am thinking about joining in on some of these memes. Just haven't had the time yet, but looks like fun. Thanks for the tour.
Hi Stacey, love your fun post. The coy do love to be fed don't they. Your flowers, especially the geranium is very nice. I agree your caladium is looking quite wind blown. I wish I had a cloche. I keep looking.
Hugs....Jeanne
Stacey, that little shelf looks so cute! (Luv the shut the door sign) Look at all of your fish! How fun! Why does your geranium look like that already, and mine still looks like it did when I bought it? Love the way it's cascading over the pot. So pretty. laurie
That "Shut the Door" sign is priceless I tell you! Living in the South, it is a phrase that is yelled a *LOT* at my house. It's the only way to keep the flies out and the cool air in ;o)
Hey there Stacey ~ "Shut the Door" is my family's middle name! If I had a dime for everytime those words leave my lips...great sign! I really love how you decorated your rack...and that cloche..be still my heart...well done!
Happy Thursday.
Smiles ~ Ramona
Okay, I'm back. I wanted to tell you what my old wooden box says on the side of it. And darned if my email isn't down and I couldn't get to your email address. I have it almost memorized, but not quite. Anyway, here's what it says on the box: "Surplus Relief Commodity, Not To Be Sold."
Brenda
Hi Stacey
I plan to do thankful Thursday every week again so if you want to join next week I'll have the mr linky for you to sign in.
((hugs)) Rhondi
I love your rack. A few years ago I was looking for a rack just like that for my pie bird collection. Never found one! And that little cloche is so cute!! Can't wait to see everyone's cloches at the party!
Robin@Miscellaneous Thoughts
Love the shelf and the sign is too cute. I needed that when my kids were little and I was always yelling "shut the door"! LOL
Hugs!
Kat
What a nice reminder SHUT THE DOOR. Oh how many times I had to say that to my kids when they were small. I needed a tape recorder.
Joyce M
Everything looks just perfect..
I love that shelf..I really want one but have NO WHERE to put it. I need to have a garage sale, get rid of stuff so I can go buy some more...stuff..:)
xo bj
I really love that wall rack, it is a simple and lovely design.
I'm planning to join the cloche party too.
