There was a time when EVERY house had a swing. They ranged from simple tires suspended on ropes to fancy gliders. It doesn't matter which one you choose, but this summer add ONE to your garden and then be prepared to fight for it because everyone is going to want to use it. :)

Decorating Your Railing
I have seen this done at Christmas time, but there's no reason why you can't do it all year round. The yard looks so bare when the holiday decorations are put away, but now that there are solar lights on the market, suddenly we can have a gorgeous yard all summer long. And it's easy on the budget as well.Photo Credit: Amazon

Using Christmas Lights Now
Now is the time to get out those Christmas lights and use them all summer long. No, you aren't going to be wrapping a tree with them... although you could now that I think about it, but for this project, you are going to wrap them around the slats of your overhead trellis and you can enjoy the lights as you sip wine in the evening.And did you know that there are now solar powered lights on the market... even better!
