The Patio

After much hard work (none of it mine) the patio is finished. Unfortunately, the contractor miscalculated the amount of stone needed and we had to wait an extra 10 days to have it completed. Now we are just waiting for the grass to grow in - it is - and the wind to die down - NEVER - so we can spend a lot of time out there. We did hang out there on Memorial Day with some of our neighbors. It was fun. Max, Ryan Springer, Megan Springer, Quinlan, Brandon Henry and Connelly Springer hang out on the new steps.... centerpiece of the patio (designed them myself).

View from the swingset.... that dirt is now budding grass. The ropes were to keep the kids off the dirt. They helped, mostly.

Another view, from the side.
