The Pergola 

  Note: I will be traveling for the next three weeks, so there will not be another post until about the last week in January.

 In 2011 I built a pergola, which is off the path leading down the hill to the east, or the front of the property.  Then adjacent to it, and to the south, I built a seating area on top of a wall of granite cobblestones, reclaimed from the streets of Milwaukee.  I did all the work myself, so now I know that in my next life I will refuse to be a carpenter or a stone mason.  (Note: the third photo was inserted by error, and I cannot delete it.  It will be part of the next post.)
