Sunsets, waxing/waning moons, storm clouds, puffy white clouds dotted & dashing across blue skies.

At our backdoor a stoop is now a deck stretching full, left to right. Grand conversations of roofing a portion and screening it in. All was easy, at the front end. Then came enjoying the deck, and Milky Way.

Yet, we'd truly like a portion saved from rains. And sun. How our home came to be 117 years old without a shade tree at back. Really?

Addressing the sun issue are brainwaves of a vine, above/below.

Enjoying playing with my friend, Vision Questing. Found the iron vine supports, top, this morning. Knowing the iron monger on our team could do them exactly. Better, the arches easily removed from the posts. Rendering them temporary if desired, and other choices made later. Yet perfect if that's as far as we go.

This phase of gardening, anticipation, I adore.

Saves money/time down the road. More, I don't want to pull the trigger too fast, only to think, "Wish we had....."
.
Deck still needs staining, to protect from all the sun, furniture is bare bones. Eating dinner on the deck feels a bit like camping. Especially when we linger, and the Milky Way appears.

Would obviously need a deciduous vine. Wisteria 'Amethyst Falls' a leading contender. Shady in summer, warm in winter.
