ARBOR DAY

It has been 3 weeks since I dug the post holes for this arbor and thanks to the flu we haven't been outside since then. So when we got a sunny, 60 degree day we just had to try and finish our arbor project.

Jack is attaching the 2x4 cross pieces to tie the posts together. We set the posts in crushed rock, NOT concrete which has a tendency to move up in the clay soil and make things wonky.

The arbor is done. Chase is about to take his inaugural pee on the post!

We had just enough energy left to build the 2'x2' planted and put in the climbing New Dawn rose! I'll add a clematis along side it so they will twine together.
