Deck improvement!

We get sun on our deck from about 10ish until sunset.  This is a good thing (we love the sun) and a bad (sun on your face the entire time you are eating is not so fun).  Wanting some shade when we are eating we have been thinking about ways to get some and still keep things light and still let some of the sun through.  This is what we came up with....
Notice the shade that it is already providing!!

 Seems pretty successful so far.  A little reprieve from the blazing afternoon sun, some beauty and next spring it will have some pretty and fragrant blooms. Also provides privacy too!

  1. It looks really nice! I can't tell what you planted, what is it? Your house and yard look to be coming along really nicely, and it looks like you are having fun with it too! :)
