no longer the Archie Bunker backyard, 6.18.03

I got the third section of the backyard fence installed last night, during a rare break in the rainy weather we are stuck in. This section went up quickly and without fuss. I also built the basic gate door and stuck it in place for the time being. Compare and contrast with this shot from a year and a week ago. The plants are going out of their minds back there—The sage which wintered in the planters is blooming (directly behind the large pot in the right foreground); the lantana are waiting for more intense sun but seem happy to be outside again, and the geraniums are all sprouting leaves like crazy.

This weekend, we are travelling to D.C. to shoot new pictures of Jen’s print materials, courtesy of Nate’s wife Kristen; we will bring the beer and the camera and hopefully capture the goods in a professional manner and then post them online. Thanks Kristen!

Happy one-month anniversary, baby!
