Pool Deck

I just realized I never posted the pool deck when it was done! How embarrassing. OK if you remember this was the "collage" of how I thought it might look.

And here's how it turned out!

The deck looks great too bad the water is dark green!

After we drained it and I cleaned it. That scrubbing lead to right sided back pain for months by the way.

Pretty darn clean!

So I look forward to replanting around the pool and showing a picture with clean water this coming spring/summer!!!! Hoping for a long hot summer.

Backyard project preparing to espalier and spread out blueberry bushes

In preparation for a beautiful deck.... (oh please happen sooner than later). I dug up the potatoes and began to disassemble the boxes and trellis.

I started moving the fruit tree saplings to be about 18 inches in front of the fence posts. And repositioning the blueberry bushes to be two at most between tress. 

I also planted some spring bulbs I bought and old ones I dug up. Crocus, Allium Globemaster, and Narcissus Paperwhites and another one I never tried before Anemone?

Anyway it's this part along the back fence. I worked out there 7 hours and was so sore today. I used to work all day no problem, then I got to where 2 hours and I needed a rest. Yesterday I was a little tired but I was so sore today and that surprised me. Maybe because I have this cold or allergy thing still going on...

Wish I could make it look like this:

Not exactly I guess but you get the idea.

My prior collage!

Pool Reality

Well if you remember here's the dream ....

Another beautiful example of backyard pool and deck.

Another collage with similar ideas

And the reality of it all!

But hopefully being delivered next week a little step up...

Sometimes things just don't happen fast enough. Next year I think I'll dig it half way into the yard like my best friend's dad did when I was in grade school. Then a deck around it and whallah... not too permanent not too temporary.
