A Small Fall Project

Ahhhh it is finally cooling off enough that a person (me) likes to sit in the garden during the day. I have this nice little two-seater glider that we don't use much unless we have company. I got to thinking thatI could set this glider where I want a bench. Then when we have company we can always retrieve it and set it where we need extra seating.

As I was sitting there contemplating this decision of utmost importance my DB was under the apple tree taking picutres of butterflies that were hanging out there. Of course he being a smartie decided to take my picture while I was deep in thought. Since this disturbed all this shuffling of gliders and gray matter I decided to return the favor.

I will have to post a few of the pictures he has taken. He has taken some beauties. As I turned toward the apple tree you can see the view I have if I look in that direction.Of course Luna lie there thinking her humans have really gone off the deep edge this time. Behind her you can see some of the view in the other direction.The mulch around the Maple tree is thick and what with all the roots this area isn't exactly level. I was having difficulty touching the ground when I put the legs on bricks. I didn't want the legs sitting in the mulch because this glider is metal. You know how metal reacts to moisture. Moisture+Metal=Rust. UGH... I bought this lovely little glider before I gave a thought to it needing maintenance. Darn I do digress. Anyway, I collected all the leftover bricks whether they were pieces or broken and made a frame of wood to hold them into place. All this came out to the picture below. A nice level sitting area here. As the bushes on either side of this glider grow it will make a little secret sitting area...I hope.

In the mean time I will sit here and watch the birds splash in the birdbath.Or I will peer through the opening in the fence to see what is going on in the world. I just love the big hedges that have openings cut into them so you can see the sea or some other lovely surprise. Here unfortunately you don't see much when you look through the opening. It is a long view. As close to a vista as my little neighborhood will afford. I can always dream. Do you have a fall project in the works?

     All I can say it is difficult to deal with change. This new Blogger format is not as user friendly in my opinion. I guess I will get us...
