Patio dining is my favorite thing to do all spring, summer and fall!  Since we can’t entertain all year long in my neck of the woods, I’m always waiting anxiously for these seasons to arrive so we can savor the outdoor fun as long as possible!  It doesn’t matter if I’m planning a party, having a lunch with my pals, or just serving a meal to my family on any ordinary day…eating outside just makes it feel special!  So today I’d like to share some really simple ways to make patio dining practically effortless!  I can’t cook the meal for you…but I can show you how to set a pretty table with affordable goodies perfect for outdoors!  So let’s get ready to enjoy all the patio, porch and back yard celebrations!
