First Day of Summer

 

Here's my new grill... oh man, lot's of little parts, and pieces, and hardware...

 

and an instruction booklet with pictures and no words. Normally, that would be good, but we really needed some words here. Two different times during the assembley we had to take it apart and start again. But, we did it, we always do.

 

This morning, I woke up to scraping noises. Terry was up early, working on the stone garden path...

 

Mixing cement in a tub.

 

He is a true weekend warrior.

 

Looks pretty cool.

 

Went to the garden store to pick up a couple of trees (more on that below), and saw this table, which is exactly what I want for the patio. $269... Terry ran home and started working up the plans to build it for free with scraps in his wood pile. Love him.

 

Here she is... Ready for her first run.

 She's a Char-Broil Tru Infrared gas grill.

I had to search for this one, because I had very specific wants.

Slim design (I'm not cooking for an army)

Four wheels (not the stupid 2 wheels & 2 legs design)

A door to hide the propane tank,

and stainless steel. 

 

Made shish-kebab, veggies, naan bread, and Farro.

 

Love it.

 

This was our bargain purchase at the garden store... two Serviceberry trees.

 Also known as "Juneberry".

 

A combo shrub/tree that grows 20 feet, blooms white in Spring, and develops edible purple berries in June. Perfect natural privacy for our new patio.

 

Hope they grow fast...
