Another day in paradise at your lovely place, Pat! Exquisite photographs that speak volumes. Love them!
Happy Outdoor Wednesday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Pat, it doesn't get much better than that! Beautiful photos. ♥
Oh my Pat, that has to be heaven on earth for sure. Your pics are all just gorgeous. Now that I would love to be able to do for at least a day, but a few weeks would be better. Check out my blog I am taking a poll to see who would be interested in a Cloche Party. Let me know. Hugs, Marty
Hello, Pat,
I have visited the area you are in, I think. My at one time Sister-in-law lives in Jeff City. When we were there every other person we ran into was a cousin of hers. Seriously!
Her name (names?) is Linda Kay Stockman, Bentzen, Guinn Bax.
I'm just checking.
You aren't her cousin, are you?
It is beautiful there!
Oh Pat! This is just gorgeous! I'd never leave your deck...fabulous view! I hope you are having a great week!...Debbie
I did not know that you lived on the ozarks. We used to vacation there when I was a kid, beautiful place. I remember it spoiled me for fishing...I didn't catch fish so easily anywhere else. Thanks for coming by today.
Pat, you lucky girl! You and J enjoy your time there.
As I have mentioned before, you and J are very blessed to live in such a beautiful spot..at home or at the lake....
Great photos..
Pat,You have beautiful pictures. I would love to sit on that porch. Have fun.
stunning photographs. my favorite is the single fern I think. just wonderful images.
Food as beautiful as the view! It doesn't get any better. Sally
Fabulous pics Pat!
I want some of those hydrangeas and maybe a trip to the Ozarks, how lovely. Cindy
Mmm scones. Nice photos! Is that a wasp? How did you get so close I'd be scared LOL.
All the best,
Allison
Oh, Dear Pat! How do you ever get anything done when you're surrounded by all this beauty! How lovely and your photos are just fantastic!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Hi Pat! What a lovely spot to relax and have fun. Just beautiful outdoor shots!!
Thank you for the inspiring pictures! Happy June!
That lake looks so pretty. Hope it hasn't been as hot in your area as mine.
I have those same palm tree plates! I LOVE lake living as you do!! Nothing better than livin on the water!
Hi Pat, Life is good on the Lake of the Ozarks. Delicious food, a view to die for, and surroundings that are beautiful. Love your photos Pat and your post. I can do without the nest maker!!!
I want to tell you that I am using my macro setting as of today. I am still learning and I haven't downloaded my camera yet. We have seen so much wildlife and tomorrow I am doing Outdoor Weds. with just my wildlife photos. The wildflowers are just starting but I have a few to share. I am buying a book tomorrow so I can identify them before I post them. We are loving Yellowstone.
I better get busy on my post for tomorrow. I am managing to post, but visiting is not so easy. We are so tired each evening after playing all day.
Hugs...Jeanne
Your photo of the ES hydrangea took my breath away.
Gorgeous!
Lake of the Ozarks is really a beautiful place. We are just a bit farther South in Arkansas. Thanks for sharing your lovely pics.

Sandi
Hi Pat,
Your Outdoor Wednesday photos are lovely. I fondly remember spending a summer vacation on the Lake of the Ozarks when I was a child. I love that single fern photo!
Cathy
Nice and peaceful, except for the WASP! Yikes!...LOL
The lake looks just wonderful, and I see you do some computering with that breakfast on the balcony!
What a beautiful and serene environment. Thank you for sharing it with us through your photos. Have a wonderful day.
So beautiful!
what gorgeous images.
wish i could play there too !
Hi Pat, Don't you just love Endless Summer hydrangeas? This spring mine will be three years old and they look wonderful....just full of blooms. All the rain has helped a lot too. Happy Wednesday. xo Lynn
Yummy-looking breakfast! I always love your pictures at the lake. Your gardens at home are gorgeous too!
One can only dream to be in a place like this and you are living it. Lucky Pat!...Christine
What a wonderful way to wake up in the morning. All of your pictures are just lovely ♥
How pretty! What a way to blog!
What a lovely post! Everything looks so fresh! Don't like the nest builder..don't let it built a nest in your bbq! :)
I love your photos. The one with the fern is my favorite...the nest builder is my least favorite. My husband just cleaned these buggers out of my Mom's grill last evening.
Ugghhh...
Your photos are so beautiful Pat! I say this every time I see a picture you've taken, then I mutter about needing a new camera! ☺ Diane
Gorgeous photos and the breakfast looks yummy too! Hope you can get rid of that nest builder thought!
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

I like the foundation next to your patio.
