A New Place to Knit, Spin, and Smell the Roses


Our Spring 2008 outside project is complete. Andy totally rebuilt our existing deck and added a pergola and two new raised flower beds.


This spring and summer, we will be spending lots of time sitting and enjoying ourselves. It's a perfect place to spin or knit and have a cocktail or two. It's very peaceful and tranquil which is just what we needed.


On the upper right of the pergola is wisteria that should bloom next year. From this view, behind the pergola is our new picket fence. We added this to keep the deer out of the flower beds. Pesky critters ate nearly all the blooms last year.

Thanks Andy, your the best!

Hmmm...I still like my plywood idea, but I must grudgingly admit that Andy does acceptable work. That said, send him and his tools over to my house right now. ROFL

Seriously, it's beautiful! Y'all did a GREAT JOB.
