Harper Rose

Very fortunate to have the opportunity to fly back to Chicago to meet my new sweet little niece. Highlights of the trip were taking over 300 photos, watching her yawn and celebrating her one week birthday!

Deck/Patio: Part III

Done! Minutes before Joel and Mandy arrive for the weekend. Even strung up the ole wedding lights. Quite magical actually. Especially since this city is mosquitoless.

Patio: Part II

Joel builds planter boxes from scraped wood (free from his work!). Allie sweeps the sawdust.

Deck: Part I

First things first -- purchase the plants. Bought lots of herbs, tomatoes and some greens. And green beans. And a extra mint plant by accident.
