Here's the new header on the gate. What a difference it makes. The gate now opens & closes perfectly, just like a door. We are very happy. And, it came out looking pretty cool. Once it rusts (and you know it will) it will blend in nicely.
We worked in the yard quite a bit yesterday, finally getting our new shrub planted where the bamboo was. We chose a Pittosporum Silver Sheen which is a somewhat open & loose shrub. It should grow 10-12 feet tall, be able to handle the wind, and not need any pruning. We think it will look good.
We also spent a lot to time getting what's left of the lawn ready for the clover seed, which we will sow today. I'm not sure how long it will take to germinate & grow, but the stuff is supposed to be really hardy & be able to grow on barren soil. I hope to have a good picture of the new lawn in a month or so.
Yesterday saw another hot day with temps in the high 80's. Today though, is foggy a cool so far. What a difference a day makes! I'll leave you with another picture of the gate, from the front of the house.
