Nice! It is good to be busy. I'm sure the kids are keeping you with
plenty to do :)

Two spings ago, I dug up part of my back lawn and made it into a small
vegetable garden. It has a little fence around it, just for separation
of flower/veggies and also has a pergola (or trellis) for looks.

Here are a couple of pix:

(the top is made out of pressure treated lumber, "wet" bent over a
fixture).

Since then, I've built another trellis, going towards the front yard
and replaced the crappy stockade fence with a nice white polyester
fence (no painting that sucker!). It now has a bird bath you can see
through both trellis'.

With the vegetables and flowers, it looks very nice. They have several
varieties of clematis growing on them now and it looks like they've
been here forever.

Too bad summer will be on its way out very soon..
(no more gardening :( but of course we'll be back in the garage working
on the bugs :)
