Patio Furniture Interstitial

As promised, finally, here's the super amazing exciting patio table. I'm sure you're plotzing over the amazingness of it all. 

Two of the chairs are still in the jeep. It was dark when we got home last night (we made 3 trips to the guy's house to get this set. The jeep is deceptively smaller than Doug thinks it is). It is very cold out, Geoff doesn't have to drive to school tomorrow, he's on break. So we left them there and will get them out later on. 

As you can see, it takes up pretty much the entire patio. We just set it there after getting it out of the jeep, and somehow it ended up diagonal. I kind of like it. Doug doesn't. Heh. 

He wants to ponder/plan out what our layout is for this. For someone who didn't really want a patio set, he's pretty stoked. 

The fire pit will probably go out onto the grass. Maybe we'll get some more pavers from Community Forklift, raise it up and extend the spot out to put it there, and protect the grass. 

Then we can move the patio table back closer to the house, put a couple chairs in the shed, and pull them out as needed. The wind blew the cushions over last night, and I was in my socks so I didn't go out there to stage the picture better. They're in okay condition, but I am not opposed to buying new ones for us. It came from home depot, and they always have cushions for sale this time of year. 

I wonder how Doug would feel about tropical trees and birds. hahahha. 

Anyway, there it is. In time for it to be 28 degrees tonight. Ready for it to be warmer. And I'm ready too. 

Oh and yeah - the yard is in need of love. That pot in the right corner is ready to be full of flowers again. The steps in front of me are ready for herbs in the pots that overwintered there. That little bench/table dealie ready to be covered with plants. That firepit, ready to burn things.

Farmer Chris is feeling it.
