That’s what I told Banjo Man this morning: I’m practicing for the lake. I’m sitting on a deck. In web chairs. With my coffee.

First thing in the morning. In the sunshine.

Even without lake and mountain views, we’ve been enjoying our new little deck much more than we thought we would when it was erected last November. Completed last week with chairs from Home Depot and a tiny table from Home Goods, it’s a sweet place to enjoy the beginning of spring…and dream of the summer ahead.
