Progress

I feel like the deck is my third child lately, and all I want to do is blog about it. That is, when I'm not admiring it, and taking pictures of it, and dressing it up with pretty new furniture and flowers.


We're still waiting on the railings which will probably be ordered sometime this week and installed some time next week. We're waiting until the boards weather before we paint the pergola so we can color match. The bottom boards will probably be painted the same color at the same time, if I can persuade The Hubby that a clearcoat and raw wood look is not an option when the rest of the deck is finished.


I Planted some herbs that I will undoubtedly kill.



Marigolds everywhere, because I read somewhere that they repel mosquitos.


This would be a better picture without the potting soil bag in the background.


Conversation nook in the corner.



Spencer's flowers (sunflowers)


Lazing on the chaise with a good book (hey, it's not bad!)

Enjoying our first dinner out on the deck - The Boy Who Does Not Eat Dinner ate half my pork chop and three helpings of rice and beans. It was actually chilly tonight, so we zipped up and enjoyed it anyhow!
