96 Degrees in the Shade
Has the sweltering heat gotten to you yet? Here in Southeast Texas, it certainly has! And although our region is known for barbecues & outdoor grilling, all I can think about is an ice cold lemonade, a cool breeze & shade. The heat is definitely on, but these fun and functional outdoor umbrellas will definitely help.

Ballard Designs Tilt Umbrella: $359
We live near the gulf so once in a while, a breeze comes. A tilt umbrella will certainly help that umbrella stay in place.

Frontgate European Sun Umbrella: $699 on sale (Was: $999)
Have to be different? Umbrellas don’t have to be in the middle all the time.
Half Umbrella Grandin Road: $299
Ok, so not everybody has a huge yard, some of us have very small balconies or patios. No problem! The half umbrella is designed for your outdoor space!

Solar Powered Umbrella Plow & Hearth: $149.95 (Umbrella); $79.95 (Base)
It looks like a regular umbrella but Plow & Hearth’s version is the eco-friendly kind. No need to put outdoor lanterns, this one already has lights installed in it!
So, enjoy summer & stay in the shade!
