Our new deck addition.  This was taken looking out over the back yard to the park

The new deck addition looking towards the old deck.

Here is a photo of the front of the house minus the garage, which is out of the picture on the right.

We've been putting an addition onto the deck in back, and planting flowers, watching the hot air balloons that fly over mornings and evenings several times a week, observing the progress of the young geese in their flight training, and have remained neutral in the hummingbird wars.  They continue to "dogfight" over the possession of the three feeders we have put up.  

The biggest and baddest of them I have named Leroy Brown.  Leroy guards the territory with an "eagle eye" and promptly chases off any intruder.  Unfortunately for Leroy, there are often more than one intruder.

I haven't been doing much tatting this Summer.  I did contribute to the Palmetto scholarship book, but you'll have to wait til Palmetto Tat days to find out what.  My lips are sealed.
