It's too bad the weather had to be so cold as soon as you moved into your new home. Too bad for the crops, too.<br />cindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05953894424490104222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-11879644290929726662010-01-10T01:08:18.479-05:002010-01-10T01:08:18.479-05:00Nice outdoor furniture.

Once it is screened in--a lanai and finally if it is glassed in--a sun room. Lots of choices. But you can call it what you want to call it.Neabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311437927263063301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-7544549531353186882010-01-09T23:16:27.782-05:002010-01-09T23:16:27.782-05:00Oh, Sally, your furniture is just beautiful.

I remember on the tv show "The Golden Girls" they called their porch a lanai and it wasn't covered. I think the term lanai is a regional thing.

Up here in the Northeast, I think your outdoor space might be called a terrace - until you close it in, that is. Interesting how different parts of the world have such different ideas about things.
