the deck

kristopher got a bee in his bonnet to make us some shade in the back yard. well, i did not discourage that idea. so now we have a 12 by 12 deck with a simple pergola, it is so nice to have a smidge of shade in our very hot backyard. the sun sets on the yard so all day we are getting full sun. great for gardens hard for people... i wish i took some finished pictures of it. but i was forgetful - i guess i was probably tired from all the trips to the hardware store and helping him with this and that. so in one weekend (memorial day weekend) he finished the deck. yippeee....

we havent actually gotten to enjoy it much. we soon after got bad news that kris' grandmother passed away and needed to travel to southern idaho. so we were busy with this and that preparing for our long trip to southern idaho and then off the creswell ( a previously planned trip) so it has become a LONG trip .
