Chandelier on porch

I added some pretties to my chandelier on the porch.

This would make a pretty Christmas card.

IT"S BEGINING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

Hi Frosty

Oh Christmas tree how beautiful your branches

Where are the hot dogs?

Had 5 days off so built me a burning pit.Oh so lovely. Summers will be great sitting around this fire.

How to build a arbor for under $10.

I've always wanted a arbor in the back yard. All kinds of pretty ones to buy and build but I havn't a truck to buy and carry it home.So here is my arbor I build for under $10.

Day one



I  selected four tall slim trees and postioned them in the ground with a bag of quick setting concrete $6

Day two

 



I gathered more small trees and screwed them into the tall posts of the corners top and bottom and made a x which will come into play later.

Day three

 

Next I selected interesting trees for the roof. After I cut them off at each end and added this pretty branch for some color since it is fall.

Looking good!!

Day four and final day and most fun is making this arbor more decorative. This day will cost you $4 in large cable staples to place the knot around the design.

I used cedar because it is very pliable and will act like robe.

A beautiful arbor to be proud of. I ordered solar xmas lights to place on the roof. To the right of the arbor I planted white climbing roses and to the left I planted red climbing roses.

Isn't she pretty??

Found her in Fish Creek, WI

She look lovely on the porch.

Sandhill cranes

Saw these two on our way for a drive. They where just up the road from my house.
