Pictures from my garden over the past month, including the bench we assembled a month or two ago.  I'm hoping it will weather to match the beds it's next to.  It's an excellent place to sit in the morning and drink tea or read, but gets too hot and sunny later on.  I'm trying to pick another spot for a chair which will be cool all day long, in the last weedy corner of the yard.  We got 353lbs of rock this weekend to complete the stepping stone path through that corner, but I'm still not sure what the rest of the design will look like.

I got this laurel on saturday and am still very happy about it.  I've been looking for a small evergreen to fill that spot for months, and this should do well there.

I've been spending lots of time outside, many weekend days doing a mix of garden work and just reading when I'm tired out.  I don't get as sick outside, so it's a nice place to be.
