I woke to the sounds of tools being plunked down in the backyard. I had hoped last Thursday when the pieces were delivered that today, Monday, would be the day the pergola was constructed; it's fabulous when things work out. The roof has already made a huge difference in my bedroom/studio in that the lighting is softer and the room is cooler now that the sun doesn't beat against the picture window. I plan to put a brick floor on the dirt. Just under the patio roof on the left is the door to my bedroom. Now if I can just figure out how to camouflage the AC unit.We got word today that our landscape plans have passed the HOA review committee! The 3 citrus trees can finally be planted once the irrigation is done. My daughter and SIL have taken the boys on a Disney cruise until next Sunday otherwise they'd be out here this weekend preparing for the landscape marathon scheduled to happen in the next month or so. It will take a marathon to get the yard done before the 5 months of intense heat commence.
