Loving Spring

Blue skies, slight breeze, 20 degrees celsius. Excellent weather for drying. Wonderful weather for wandering in the garden and stopping to admire the blossoms, flower buds and new leaves that are
emerging!

The deck is back

Ahhhh, the deck. First finished 5 months ago. Before Winter. Before it started to Rain. And Rain. And Rain. Until we could have gone swiming in the pool underneath, rather than in front of, the new deck. Up came the decking boards (thankfully screwed down rather than nailed), followed by weeks of water pumping, muddy digging, shaping and aggi drain adding until every last drop of water could drain away. And now the deck is back on. And it is so nice. Just in time for Spring.
