Decked Out

During my little vacation at home this past week, Preston and I decided to work on making our deck a little more fancy. We finally got rid of our old kitchen table we'd been storing out there, thanks to a rapidly responding Craigslist user. It's been a gradual effort over the past year. We've been growing grass (as you see there in the corner of the bottom pic), and I assembled a glider we purchased at the end of last year's outdoor season (on a stupendous sale, of course). We got rid of the remaining junk, threw up some curtains and wall-hangings, and bought a little grill. Preston has been a grilling fool this past week, and I now realize what a wonderful investment that grill is, upon having meal after meal prepared by Preston. Ahhh! The pictures really don't represent the feeling of joy we have when we're out there, baking in the 110 degree weather we've been having. Perhaps it'll be October before we realize the full comfort potential this deck has to offer. Maybe we need to invest in a couple of misting fans? Yes, let's!
