Spring Patio and Outdoor Inspiration Ideas

Spring Patio and Outdoor Ideas This week I have been a little incognito from the blogosphere, but I have been tending to my little-est flower in the family.  While she was a happy little camper last weekend at the lake, she was a sick little munchkin come Monday morning.  Needless to say, I have spent lots of time loving on her and she is finally back to full speed.  
While she has been down this week, I have been focusing on her, and searching for fun ideas to do for the backyard and back patio!  This Spring we are making some changes in our little outdoor space, and we already embarked on a BIG one.  Now it's time to dress the place up. 
Here are a few ideas I have narrowed down, what do you think?  Any of these look good to you? Seriously, I want some feedback! These sites have some beautiful ideas and tips, and I am trying to narrow them down...
