Summer is fast approaching and the weather's getting hot. The heat front of the house gets full sun all afternoon. I've been wanting to clear a spot out back with some shade and a bit of a view of the river.
Here are some of my favourite things I use practically every day in my tiny house on wheels:
This little ceiling fan has been amazing at cooling us off at night during the hot summers. Mengnessly USB powered Small Ceiling Fan: amzn.to/4dL4VOJ
Sun lamp for those grey winter days on the island Verilux HappyLight Lumi Plus - UV-Free LED Bright White Light Therapy Lamp: amzn.to/3SNj0mt
I don’t use this every day but have several in the house and in the van. Fiberglass Fire Blanket for Emergency Survival, Flame Retardant Protection and Heat Insulation 2-pack (: amzn.to/3WMOqLa

Best can opener you will ever use! ZYLISS Lock N' Lift Can Opener with Lid Lifter Magnet:amzn.to/4dGgbvM
This water filter is amazing! ZeroWater 7 Cup Water Filter Jug: amzn.to/3Azy0y0
I use my IP every single week! Instant Pot Duo Plus 6 Quart 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker:amzn.to/3YQ00Yi
Steamer Basket for the Instant Pot: amzn.to/3M9n2So
I use these to listen to guided meditations as I drift off to sleep. Sleep Headphones Wireless, Perytong Bluetooth Sports Headband: amzn.to/3SMZTJx

Well I think your little shady spot looks very inviting. I hope you enjoy many peaceful moments just sitting and looking up at the beautiful canopy of tall trees and that sound of the brook is undeniably heaven. 🙌👍🦋🌼

Very nice. I like that you didn't overdo it like so many would be tempted to (pavers, firepit, lights, etc). Just a nice clear area of nature to sit and rest and cogitate. It's nice to have both a sunny spot and a shady spot to chose from depending on mood and weather. It might be fun to construct a pergola type structure out front that would provide a degree of shade and protection from the sun, but still remain open. They are not hard to build, nor should the limited amount of lumber needed be cost prohibitive. You could also hang all sorts of pots and plants from it. Just an idea. Enjoy!

We make inexpensive "fences" supported with t-bars posts (Canadian Tire carries them), and rebar mesh panels. We could put mesh on these, but ours are in the sun and we grow climbing beans (scarlet runner beans) which flower for weeks and weeks.

Fun day outside. I like the privacy fence. I think most of the early green veggies will do okay back there if you mix them with some plants the deer don’t like. Tough sharing your garden with the critters lol.

I find it doesn't take much to create a small, secluded place to mentally and emotionally recoup. Our lives lead us to believe we must push, charge forward, and make the most of every waking moment of our day. It is an incredible feeling to sit in the quiet, to observe and feel yourself slowly but surely unwinding. In my observation, you are surrounded by so much beauty and natural beauty that if you don't get around to planting those "deer proof" plants.... so what? What you have behind Serendipity is gold. I always feel blessed to have a small side garden with a 6 ft privacy fence to unwind in. I did laugh at your trip to the grocery with that perverbial list of only two things. I am a huge list maker and still seldomly leave a market with just the things on my list. Human nature? My veggie garden is starting to produce, and I'm on my way to feed my potted flowers. To others it might be disjointed and a little mixmatched, but so what. Pease of mind is where find it. Right?

Happy Mother's day Adelina!! That area that you spruced up looks so adorable!! I wondered if you might put your "shortie" umbrella sorta behind your chairs and kinda titled it to where one side pointed upwards a little bit, sorta ar an angle, then you could have a little privacy from the darker colored home that we see behind you, just a thought! I hope that you have a blessed day 🥰

Your shady spot is glorious. You can buy a 3 x 5 piece of lattice you can get resin or wood, the resin is maintenance free. If you also got three metal fence posts you could just attach the lattice to that. Easy peasy! They make a bracket that is a half circle that you could mount your umbrella post to your house (the grey one) That way the wind can't tip it over. Your little paradise in the back is lovely, I can hear the water through your video.

I wonder if there is any way to give you privacy behind you as you sit there, without blocking next door neighbor’s view of the river.
