Getting closer....

The big work is done in the backyard now - the wall, patio, and lighting are finally complete. As you can see we now need plants. Many plants. And some grass. Oh, and the shed, but supposedly that will be done and in place by Monday.






We really like how it is coming along so far. Once the plants get in, the grass grows a bit, and Mike's beloved chiminea is in place (I think this is the reason Mike is doing all of this, just to have a spot for a chiminea), things will be good. We also got some great end of season deals on outdoor furniture last weekend. There are benefits to dragging our heels on getting this done.

And for our cute Henry fix of the day, here he is riding the T yesterday:
