As the temperature approaches 100 degrees, (it's APRIL for pete's sake) add some COOL ice cubes from perpetualkid.com to your next party. I froze cherry juice in BONE CHILLERS for "sharks blood" in the Jolly Roger cocktails for Evan's pirate party which was a BIG hit! 
Since the high here today will be 98 degrees, I am already feeling like it's summer. We barbecued this weekend, the kids ran around in the sprinklers and ate popsicles. Today's post for summer tablescapes from Country Living was inspired by our great weekend enjoying our early summer.
I wanted to showcase one of my FAVORITE outdoor spaces I recently designed for clients in Scottsdale. The courtyard is featured in the center of the home with two sets of french doors opening into the family and dining rooms. And yes, the chairs are as comfortable as they look-perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening or cup of coffee in the morning.
