Out with the old

 

This is where we sit outside in the afternoon sun with a glass of wine before dinner.  The front of the house is completely private, and you can listen to the world go by on the other side of the hedge. It's fairly peaceful, at least until the school addition construction across the street starts up. Noise is just a part of life on a busy corner smack in the urban village.

Anyway, John ordered that beautiful new teak bench online, and it showed up on the sidewalk yesterday in a humongous box.

Been sitting on this splintery, wobbly thing for years-- way overdue for an upgrade.

So this morning, new bench gets the first of many Seattle drenchings. Eventually the teak turns silver grey, but it sure looks pretty right now in the rain.

This rain is a real gift, and when the sun comes out this weekend the flowers will go crazy. Roses, at last!
