Deck-orated!
Our deck was a mess, and we didn't have the time or the inclination to do what needed to be done. Too hot out for people our age to be doing labor-intensive work! So while Lon was out of town I surprised him by hiring a company to power wash and then seal the deck. I laid down a new outdoor rug and a Kokopelli welcome mat. (Blizzard already has hair all over it!) Kip and I put together a new patio table and chairs all by ourselves, and I put the finishing touches (for now) today: A bushel basket of red impatiens as a centerpiece, and over in the corner of the bench, white impatiens in Kip's old beach pail, and red begonias in a gold foil-wrapped pot. There's also a small terracotta pot full of seashells. Just need some windchimes now, and some flowers in the other corner that you can't see here... I'm up for other suggestions! (Like get rid of the trash can? ha ha)
