A patio kind of weekend

     I spend a LOT of time on the deck (built over top of a tiny old patio) and the forecast is spectacular! What will you be doing this long weekend? Hope y'all enjoy these retro pics of 'outdoor living.'  

1984. 'Basket chairs and glass-topped patio table. New woven vinyl fabrics allow wide, bold stripes in outdoor seat cushions.'

1971. 'Mr. Van Fossen and son Kirk check tomatoes and other vegetables... whole family helped lay bricks, then swept sand in between cracks to stabilize and settle bricks.'
