Here in Texas~
we're in a heat wave like most of the country.
If you're outside at all,
being in the water, is the only way to stay cool.
Come join me for a day in my backyard beach.
We can sit here and enjoy the sunshine and part shade under the tree.
Mr Sunshine will greet us with a pleasant smile.
We can look for shells here on Stoney Beach.
Mixed with the stones and glittery blue rocks, pretty shells we can collect.
Shells of different types and shapes are waiting for us to find.
We can place our cold drink on this birdbath table I created using
a round glass top over the top filled with shells.
My hubby added a small light inside the birdbath and it has a warm glow in the evening.
We can go for a swim in the blue water.
Charlie Tuna is there to float by and give us a smile.
The bubble fountain will soon be spilling over and the sound will be refreshing.
Near by Mr. Frog sits on the red bike and watches over the fun.
As the palm tree sways, we can enjoy the day.
Thank you for stopping by my backyard beach.
I hope you are enjoying the last days of July and staying cool.
See you next week!

I love the beach! Such an inviting area. The garden nursery we visit often has a bubble fountain and their resident kitty loves to drink from it!
Looks great, I think I will spend my next holiday there! Hugs, Valerie

Awww... I so enjoyed my visit here at your beautiful and quaint back yard beach, dear Celestina.
Your pool is quite inviting surrounded by lovely growth and of course taking a dip with Charlie Tuna would be a delight.
What a beautiful way to start my week, so nice to see you.
Enjoy your day!
With love to you, Debbie
Loved your backyard beach, so much to see and enjoy.
Happy Summer ~ FlowerLady
What a sweet retreat you have right in your backyard! Love how you've mixed seashells in with the river rock. And the birdbath table is such a genius idea. Thanks for sharing such a great part of home life with us Celeste!
Blessings for a great week! Edie Marie
Your beach is just lovely! It has everything you'd ever need to enjoy a summer day! Perfect!

Thank you for inviting me in dearest celeste...your backyard besch is sensational!!!!!
Oh, I'd love to be there on your beach right now!! Everything looks so lovely. Seashells and everything! Oh...a dip in the pool would be amazing, especially since I just came in from outside...finishing off the top layer on the Pup's Pen {concrete block "caps - 22 of them}! I'll bring along a pitcher of my home-made, freshly squeezed Lemonade! It's so good! I've been thinking about that all morning - I'll have to stop at the store and get some lemons and ice!! Have a wonderful week!

What a beautiful oasis!!
What a gorgeous yard and a wonderful summer retreat you have. Cheers.
What a beautiful spot to sit and relax. It's going to be sweltering here again this week so I will be spending quite a bit of time relaxing in the pool. =)

Oh my goodness....I just want to jump right into your beautiful pool, Celeste! What an amazingly refreshing space you created back there! On a 90 degree day like today in MI, I would love to look out my window and see that waiting for me! lol
xoxo laurie
I would get no work done if I lived there. I would want to be outdoors all day long.
I just love looking at pictures of your pool and back yard, Celestina. All the shrubs and flowers and statues and lawn chairs just make it a magical place to be. Everything looks so nice. I think I could stay out here for a long time. That's the one thing I miss about our big house, my lovely pool. Enjoy your wonderful pool during these hot summer months. Before you know it, Autumn will be here.
love, ~Sheri
Your backyard beach is just beautiful and wishing you a nice week!@
Hugs, Julie
Oh, what delightful idea, dearest Celestina Marie! Your backyard beach sounds so inviting and I am sure relaxing on the beach chairs in the blissfully warm summer sun must be such fun! Some sunshine sounds delicious to me who is wrapped up in blankets as it is just so cold here at the moment...smiles...

This is when i wish I spoke with a drawl, in ground pools here *chicagoland* are just grief waiting to happen with our goofy weather. I so want to dive in…this post is so inviting, mesmerizing, and …NOT FAIR!..lol
Celestina Marie, Our backyard beach is a beautiful retreat for us!
Thanks for creating it! LJ
What a beautiful beach, Celeste! I don't see how you have such lovely greenery and flowers in the heat! I can't keep anything growing in my backyard paradise! I need a few lessons! Have a wonderful week ahead! Blessings, Cindy
Hello, creating there lovely havens of rest and beauty are so important. I have such a love for blue waters and seashells. Just the sound of water is so relaxing. We are painting our homes this next week and the will be wild in color.
Okay hope I win... LOL
I still have only 200 followers, I put that gadget as far to the bottom so I can't see it!
Hugs and all the blessings He has for you

It's so pretty in your backyard! I'm not surprised about that though.
The fountain is so neat. I'd like to incorporate one of those. Are your flowers getting toasty hot at this point? Ours are. We've been out of town a few days and just got back. It looks dry out there.
Celeste, what a delightful surprise...seeing you identify yourself as being from North Texas. If you read my blog any time at all you will see where I refer to "Our Texas Years"(southeast)..Incredible time and experiences God both blessed, enriched and brought us thru "The Miracle years..." in Texas.
I look forward to settling in to discover "your stories"..Thank you for following and leaving on a not re my guest post by Connie.
so refreshing and beautiful.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog. I usually reply by e-mail but you showed as a no reply blogger so I could not. Your backyard is stunning! Oh, I could spend many hours floating in that glorious pool! Hope you have a lovely evening.
Blessings, Vicky
What a gorgeous setting Celestina! Love the crystal clear water!
Everything looks so inviting.
I tried to send you an email about the comment you left at Seashells and Lavender but couldn't. Thank you so much for all of your kind words on the post.
Smooches.
Debbie

Thank you dear now I feel quite refreshed. Just thinking of your glorious blue water pool and seashell beach makes me giddy. These certainly are the last days of July and how quickly they are passing along. High on Life July...
Such a magnificent summer oasis. Love your pool too. I was thinking about you today. I have been painting my guest room here in Massachusetts and turning it into a Hydrangea retreat. I wish I lived nearby so that you could give me some inspiration. I adore the way you decorate.
karen
Ohh, I'd love to swim in that water.
Beautiful!! What a wonderful retreat you have in your own back yard!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
I am looking forward to having some more free time....
Hugs,
Deb
Oh Celeste how dreamy is your back yard. That pool ahhhhhhhh! Everything is so inviting and fun.
Wish I lived closer you would find me floating in your pool lol!
Have a great day.
Kris
This looks so peaceful and pretty! (And the pool SO inviting!) :)
Susan
A day in the shade, beside the pool...YES! I'm there with a glass of the house wine of the South - sweet iced tea!
Your shell filled table is so pretty, Celestina! And I absolutely love the last shot of your pool thru the leafy arch. What a wonderful and inviting oasis you have created! Your pool and yard looks like a high end resort:)
Hi Celeste! Oh, your backyard and pool area is vacation worthy for sure. It's gorgeous. Love every area you have and all of your little special touches! I wanted to thank you so much for visiting my travel blog!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
It was 93 here today, so that pool looks just wonderful! I love your table made from the bird bath, what a great idea! I'm glad to see you taking a break from your painting and creative pursuits to enjoy your lovely "beach." Blessings, Deborah
Your backyard beach is beautiful! I love what you did with the shells and the table.
Love, love, love your backyard!! Your pool area is so pretty!! It is so hot here in Ohio that you don't want to be outside for very long unless you have a pool...which we do not. Our air conditioner is running non-stop 24/7!! It's 80 degrees outside and it's 10pm. I can't wait for this hot summer to be over.
hugs,
Cindy
How I love this, Celeste. I would sit there all day with you.
The sound of water is so peaceful, and I love how your pool wraps around and has a shaded area too.
Heavenly!
xoxo
That looks like so much fun and I love the idea of mixing shells in with the gravel! That water looks so good- got some hot days here. Cute froggie. Hope you are having a good week!
Your "beach" is beautiful, Celestina! So is your back porch. If I had that pool, I'd never blog in the summer. I'd just hang out with Charlie Tuna all day ;)
xoxo,
rue
That pool looks inviting.
Sweet Celeste, your "beach" is oh-so-charming and lovely. How I would love to join you for a day at the pool for I know the fellowship would be sweet and precious.
Thank you, my friend, for sharing this delightful post with Roses of Inspiration. Hugs to you!
