Maybe they are not done yet Debra? Maybe they are going to do something beautiful? Least can wish. We will have to send you big plants to block the view!

dahtzu, oh my I looked at the dayliles and they are beautiful. Loved Pug and Swedish Girl they were exceptional. I have th och (can't remember how to spell that) I think it is a realy beauty also. Oh please show me a pic of your pergola, I would love to see it.

I love working with wood. Must take after my DGF who was a cabinet maker altho I never met him. I built an octogen shaped picnic table and the first real thing I built was my glider. DH about had the big one when I came home hauling all this lumber and piled it in his driveway! He said when to you expect to have this done, (it was the 4th of July weekend), told him when the first snow flew. I was right I sit in it the very first time on the very first snow of the season! rofl! I figured if "they" (the guys can do it) I can do it. I may not have the arm muscle they do, but I have brain power to figure out how to leverage something into place. One thing I have problems with, not digging the holes, pouring the concrete, cutting, measuring, or that stuff, but getting something square! ugh! When I built the raised concrete beds I did what they told me to with the string and all that, but much to my dismay it didn't work so good. So I am going to give it a try and if it doesn't work I will go drag him kicking and screaming to help set the poles...rofl.

Most of you have seen the glider but here is a picture of it the last project this year will be building a potting bench as soon as I figure out exactly what I want.
