A *new* patio set!

We finally got rid of our old backyard swing - the one that the top shade cover broke off of during a wind storm, and the cushions that were weather trashed beyond my repair. We posted it on freecycle, and within less than 24 hours had twelve different people wanting it. In it's place James found a used but still in great condition patio table/chair set - just what I've been wanting for 2 years! It was so nice to sit outside for dinner tonight - here's the family enjoying our good fortune!


And to make room for it, we decided to move the playhouse to the dirt area next to the garden shed. And of course, the first thing the boys did was figure out how to climb to the top and perhaps next climb to the shed roof. I just can't win for losing!
