Romantic Lighting

Everything looks better with the right light!

This is our big elm tree to the left of the gazebo with a little pond beside it.

Louis Dean is so proud of the fountain he designed from a bird bath.

You can't see it in this pic but we love the sound it makes!

Last might Louis Dean and I spent some time together in our freshly cleaned gazebo!

We made a fire using some of the twigs and debris we have been cleaning up.

Sitting out there sipping a glass of wine and gazing into the fire is one of our all time favorite things to do. The nice thing about being busy and working hard is it is SO nice when you stop to rest! Which is what we have been doing on and off all day.

We each took naps and have been working in spurts. I think a lot was accomplished in this manner today! AND we are not nearly as exhausted as we were last night!

The deck is back down - hopefully for the FINAL time!

All that is left is some clean up outside, shopping, housework, cooking and baking.

Then it will be PARTY time!!

SO while our yummy dinner is cooking -

I think I hear Louis Dean out there at the side of the house.

I better go see what he is doing.

I swear if I were not here to stop him - I believe he would work til he dropped!
