Patios..

What is a patio? Patio derived from a Spanish word which means backyard or back garden and patio is commonly can be called veranda or balcony (source: wikipedia). I can really consider patio as a place for daily retreat. Found these beautiful patios on Sunset.com. While I am seeing the images below, I can imagine myself going back home from long day at work, making a cup of warm tea and tuning in into some relaxing swing jazzy tunes and just sit down relaxing at the patio. Oh, and the cute pug that I've always wanted=) What do you think? Sounds good, right?
