Since Memorial Day weekend's gazebo project, we've been busy augmenting the patio area (and enjoying it a little, too!).
Plants, rocks, solor lights, statues ... It's really looking nice...
Here are some new pics...
The Fu Dogs and solar lights are courtesy of the clearance bin at Target; the plants were from the local flea market; the cement statues were from a local cement figure store; and neighbor Joe planted the tomato plant (Mary added the cage).
This HEAVY cement guy is from their Easter Island collection, though Mary thinks it looks a little like me ...
... I think I am more like this peaceful Buddha, surrounded by flowers in quiet contemplation.
This angle shows off the Fu dogs and the lights. I lined up a dozen of these lights starting from the deck and wrapping around the patio.
Although the surface of the deck we re-stained last summer has not exactly held up to the harsh winter and a couple of deck washings, we are covering that up with a couple of new lounge chairs and a cool cooler/table Mary found at Sam's Club.
It's been a fun transformation. To put it all in perspective, here's a (small) picture showing a glimpse of the area which is now covered by the patio from right before we bought the house:
More later,
Mark
