One thing done that I wasn’t entirely planning on doing this year, but which seemed “do-able” at reasonable cost and would make me feel good: A new front patio.
It’s compact, but exactly what I wanted for sitting out with a beverage on an early morning or late afternoon. It’s dappled shade and north side, so no searing sunshine during the summer. Just perfect.
My brother did the patio. It’s got its imperfections, but in that way it matches the house entirely.
There’s obviously still the landscaping to do – I’ll bring in topsoil and do some bulbs in the fall.
Now I just need two perfect chairs and a perfect small table and we’re good to go.
