The new front step railings were finally installed yesterday. We ordered them in June, but the home contractors are so busy in Seattle this summer. I think they look clean and sleek, and best of all, they won't rot away, like these old wood decorative posts.
I'm going to splurge on two tall ceramic planters for seasonal plants and flowers and put one on each side. After I touch up the paint, our outdoor home projects pretty much wrap up for the year. Of course the garden clean up phase is just beginning.
But for now, another day at least stuck inside. The smoke hasn't cleared out as fast as hoped or expected, and may even get worse today. The wind which was westerly is now coming from the south, blowing more smoke up from Oregon and California.
The pollution layer over our poor heads is thousands of feet thick. The Northwest needs a soaking "atmospheric river" rain event to truly clear it out. Nothing like that is on the horizon, although a weak rain front should arrive by the weekend. We'll take it.
