. And in preparation for summer festivities, we scalped the lawn. Well, DH, RW and the mighty Taylor scalped the lawn, while MJ and I shopped for cabinet hardware. And when we got back, I realized that the handles we haa selected did not go with the hinges. I took them back and got shiny handles instead. Easier and cheaper to replace handles than to replace handles AND hinges.
Today, DH and I picked up some groundcloth and bandaged the scalped spot to prevent the infection of weeds and grass under our new terrace, Or whatever. What do you call it? A shade structure over a paved area. The veranda? the pallazzo? the summer house? It's gonna be awesome sauce for knitting in the summer!
And just because I wanted to share it, here's that lascivious magnolia unfurling her tender buds.
You can call it whatever you want; the secret cabana, the knitty nook, summer siesta veranda, birdie booth, whatever you like!!!
ReplyDeleteI should have planted a Magnolia.
ReplyDeleteThat magnolia is at least three weeks late, and it's going to freeze its flowers off this week. I hope we get some warm weather between now and next winter so you can enjoy your gazebo.
ReplyDeleteA lair. Every superhero needs a lair.
ReplyDeleteI love yard projects. Can't wait to see the finished veranda/lair.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty sight that tree.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the pavers you have picked out. Pavers make a place look so pretty.
Pallazzo! (so it sounds foreign and intriguing - once you go there, you can't be expected to participate in your ordinary world.)
ReplyDeleteOooh, isn't she a flirt, out there in her brilliance, mocking your poor lawn with it's funny haircut!
