The Pond and fields in Autumn.....





And now presenting, "The Pergola at the Pond" To see more details go to Bruce's new blog http://www.havetablewilltravelbruce.blogspot.com/?view=classic
The Pergola....Bruce estimated it would take twenty to thirty hours to make...So, how long?? Well, we all know you double your guesstimate, sixty hours was about what it took to complete.

Leveling the pergola required much pushing, pulling, rocking and coaxing. With a final pull of a come along, ok many pulls of a come along, the pergola is now level and standing proudly in the field.

We will transplant the Wisteria plant and next summer will have it climbing agressively over the pergola, giving shade to whomever sits below it's canopy.



Morgan and Quinn helped to dig the four foot holes where the posts were planted. I had helped to dig two holes with Bruce...I have to say I was amazed with how quickly and easily Morgan and Quinn dug the final two holes....with energy left over to jump in and out of their work.
