We have turned our deck into an outdoor theater by streaming our favorite shows and movies from our IPAD or Smart Phone to our Smart TV. It's very simple to do and adds a whole other dimension to summer fun.
Early this summer we purchased a Solo Stove for our deck. Its efficient design and airflow allows you to enjoy a fire pit on a wooden deck. We do use a fireproof pad under ours and we enjoy using it every chance we get. The stove is perfect for roasting marshmallows for s'mores. When was the last time you roasted hot dogs over the open fire?
Adding a string of outdoor lights will bring illumination creating a cozy effect.
Place your deck chairs and loungers around the tv, gather your favorite snacks of popcorn, pretzels, dips, chocolates and favorite drinks, blankets if the night air is chilly and enjoy. We are planning to use our deck until the snow falls.
It is officially summer until September 21 so do what you can to be outdoors as much as possible. Most of us in the Midwest have warm temperatures well into October so we take advantage of being outside as much as possible.
Have you done anything this summer to improve your outdoor life?
