I heart summertime!

It took a while, but our backyard is finally finished. We fixed the hot tub, refinished the bocce ball court, swapped out the old splintery wood deck for this nifty new composite material, and covered over the scratchy brick patio with Italian porcelain tiles. Oh, and added the beauteous two-sided curving bench that you see us sitting on in the photo. Bamboo is growing great too.
