Updates after a summer of inactivity

Not much has happened until this weekend so not much to write about... But













Here is one of the brightest spots this summer... We did have quite a surprise with good Asian Pear fruits...















Just showing my love to these wonderful trees... I did not water (irrigate) this year but I definitely will be next year. Since we had a pretty wet spring it was not as necessary to water.














We finally excavated for the deck around the pool and the walkways.














Here is the area that will be the patio with the gravel in place...













Here is the area with the BBQ. I hope to have a small sink and fridge along side of it as well














We were able to get the dirt excavated, the gravel placed and compacted pretty good. Its going to sit for a couple of weeks to make sure its nice and hard. We are going to use concrete pavers on most of the patio but on the pool deck we will use travertine which will be good as it is cool on the feet
