Spruced up Patio

In honor of the first day of spring (and the great weather we've been having here), we finally cleaned up our back patio. Alright, let's face it, at 6 months pregnant, I sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine while Ted did the cleaning while. Anyway, the process included bagging up and throwing away a lot of leaves, finding a new storage space for our bikes, cleaning out the A/C unit, properly hanging the garden hose, potting the two topiary trees we purchased this past fall (guess which one had a rough winter), and hanging the "Bienvenidos" sign we bought in the Hill Country during spring break of '06.

As you can see from the pictures below, the patio looks pretty good, and we are proud of our new usable space. Coming soon - hanging pots of flowers that will be placed between the trees. We also hope to add some patio furniture so that we can really enjoy the space.
