In May of this year I took this photo. As you can see the paver section of our sitting area just below our back deck/porch is small.
In this July photo that I took on Monday it shows the space now after Dear added 40 more pavers. We still have enough pavers to make the space yet a little bigger. All the pavers were already on the property so this improvement is all labor with no cost to us except for sore muscles.
We’ve had a mild (cooler) and wetter start to summer this year and our plants are enjoying that.
Our California company arrived to our home safe and sound. We enjoyed a meal around the table and time throughout the evening catching up. Addy was thrilled to play with Avery, her “medium sized friend”. Jaymison was very skeptical of Ryan and Jack, mostly of Ryan. He was okay with the medium sized Avery and even managed a smile at Michelle. Nary a photo was taken. Oye. Maybe I’ll remember today…

How wonderful is this. So thankful that you are all together. Love love love. Wish I was there with you
…a nice setting, but here today at 90F+ I’ll be sitting inside!!!
It was 77 here yesterday but we ended up inside because of the mosquitoes!!
Beautiful setting area and garden,
That looks a nice comfortable seating area now.

Nice job with the pavers!
We are still waiting for the trex to arrive for our deck out back.
The pavers look great but I know that was hard work. Have a fun time with your guests.
Nice job on the pavers but…. your garden! Look how much it’s grown!
Love that little conversation area in the garden.
