A Great Project is Worth A Second  Showing

 2014

Just a reminder- This was the last major Labor of Love  from my Silver Fox-It had been on "our" to do list for several years and I always knew it would get done.  He started work on it soon after we got the Cancer diagnosis -A while after it was completed I noticed something red hanging from one end..a small red metal wind chime.  He liked them and so did I.  Then in Sprng of 2013 I spotted a new Double Knockout Rose Bush planted not far from one corner of the structure.  He didn't mention it but I knew what he was doing...he knew it wouldn't be much longer and he was leaving that for me.[ he quietly planted several new rose bushes that same day]

I will add another of the same [dbl KO] Rose Bush next to it in a few days.  We both enjoyed Roses but especially these Double Knockout because they have such a long blooming season and are so carefree.

I knew something was up when I noticed the tools and new boards



Of course I helped...One always needs a Supervisor

It was really a Collaboration

Notice anything in one of these semi finished shots that is different from the finished arbor? At first we went with the 3 high boards to back the bench- "I tried it out" and quickly determined that 3 boards high was a bit too much- uncomfortable-awkward.  Didn't I tell you I contributed to this project?

We chose to leave the structure unpainted and allow it to weather naturally with time

My own idea - it generally covers the grass and is a natural material

This looks like the last rose bush he set in place must have been  April 2013

The Wisteria is still in bloom so this would be a March/April photo
