Back in December the Santa Ana Winds howled through my backyard tossing things every which way!!! It broke my prized pots and blew pillows out of my yard and moved my patio furniture across the patio! It also broke the umbrella that gave us shade. My patio faces west and the sun is intense in the summertime.
I've since put back all of the furniture, but the umbrella had to be thrown away. After 5 years, it was a goner.
Now that it is hot again we needed a new umbrella (the umbrella also blocks the sun from coming in my french door and blinding my handsome husband as he sits in his chair). We headed over to Home Depot and picked up a new umbrella and some matching pillows! Its nice to have some color on the patio!

It looks lovely, Janie.
This happened to our patio furniture a couple of years ago. Of course it wasn't the Santa Ana's, but one of those midwest windstorms, Missouri is famous for!
Love the new fresh green color scheme Janie. Looks so pretty! Don't know how you could have held out so long before replacing the umbrella. Gotta have some shade.
