Outdoor living

They have finally started our patio--yay!
Yesterday the crew came and marked out the boundaries and dug up the sod. Today, they are tearing out the concrete steps, and we've been told that (depending on weather) it should only take a week to finish. We are expecting some rain in the forecast next week though, but I'm hoping it will be done by Father's Day (and before the baby arrives!)
Jim and Joanne sent Ed a surprise father's day gift--two wonderful L. L. Bean adirondak chairs with cushions and foot rests. They have these chairs up in Door County and we affectionately refer to them as the "dream machines." We can't wait to put them out on our patio by our fire pit and relax outside.
I'm planning on starting some herbs, peppers and tomatoes in pots out there, and, hopefully, once the patio is done we'll have time to have some friends over for a bar-b-que before the baby arrives! I'll post pictures next week when it is done.
