My Square Foot Of Heaven

The deck has a brand new motorized awning, so we don't have to run inside if it rains in the middle of barbecuing.
The China Berry and honeysuckle vines are well established over the archway and have reached the, "Hi, how are you?" stage as they pass one another.
Way at the back at the left, the striped awning gives extra shade to the orchids in their summer quarters and the're busy soaking up energy for their next dazzling debut.

All in all, summer is progressing beautifully.

First Taste of Spring

The deck looked like this when I began pulling stuff out of the shed.
It's still early days but there is some order now.

Eventually the rain will stop and the sunshine will return and I'll move on to the tweaking stage.
