When I was growing up Dad used to make things out of wood. Just like my Mom's flowers, I did not think about it much then. But, this summer when Dad came to visit, he and Paul worked on a project refinishing our outside table. Paul learned new techniques and I learned some things about Dad.

This weekend I had planned to clean the garage and the office while Paul was in Austin. I just could not get motivated because I did not want to be in the hot garage or inside the house at all. Something was calling me to the garden.

Today I could not wait to get home to spend time in the yard before I went to workout. Our cannas have been blooming beautifully all year and today one of our garden friends came by to take a rest on one of the leaves. Meet Lizzie Below.

Today Paul put the final coat on the stain and the paint. The latterns we found were perfect. The next thing we are going to do is design the landscape.

I am so glad it is Saturday. I had my coffee and read a new garden magazine in the shade garden. Earlier last month the hostas were still in bloom and breathtaking.

It's Saturday and Paul is working on the door to Lizzie Lane.  The frosted windows on the door are very interesting but we thought it shut off the area and took away from the the open concept of the garden rooms.
