Dirt Road Adventures – Summertime Entertaining

Summertime is here! I rarely want to be indoors during summer months. I prefer to dine outdoors, play games outdoors, sit and talk with friends outdoors. I prefer to do most everything outdoors right now.

This week on Dirt Road Adventures – Summertime Entertaining, I’m taking a look back at all our outdoor adventures here at The Ponds and I found some great inspiration from some of my favorite bloggers as well.

We did make a little more progress on the guest cottage. The shower tile is finished but trim work needs to be done. Several rooms are now bright and cheerful with a fresh coat of paint. I can’t wait for the full reveal and I will fill you in on all the details soon.

This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.

The week began with a Corn Hole Game DIY Scoreboard that I made from a thrift store TV Tray Stand. I love finding a use for a cheap thrifted find.

Next, our monthly supper club took place outside in our outdoor kitchen and it was so fun setting a Patriotic Table for the 4th of July..

Then yesterday, I shared possibly the easiest Appetizer Recipe ever. Joan’s Onion Dip is only 3 ingredients.

Why Didn’t I Think of That?

Each week, there are so many wonderful blog posts, and I’m sharing some of my favorites with you today.

There are so many creative ideas, and I’m always asking myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? LOL
