Sitting Area

Our backyard is getting cozier (^_^) Jojo bought the swing and the bench a few days ago. We assembled the bench Wednesday and put it by the steps on the deck. Since that part doesn't have any railing, we don't want anybody tripping and falling on the steps. The swing we assembled this morning and then laid the bricks underneath. We ran out of bricks (>_<) so it's only below the seating area. I guess it's ok so at least you don't have your feet on the grass and the swing itself is more stable since the soil can "hug" the stand. Another good thing about running out of bricks ... no more leftovers! Before we had them piled up on the sides of the steps. Now it's all put to good use (^_^) That's recycling! We anchored the front of the bricks with scrap plywood we have lying around. That way the bricks in front won't fall over when you push yourself to swing.

I might put the small table currently in the florida room on the side of the swing so you have somewhere to put stuff on like drinks. I hope I find two matching ones that are cheap so there's a table on either side.

We're also planning on opening the pool soon (^-^) And Memorial Day is coming so that's a good day to have a barbecue party, don't you think?
