Here's what Bob's been doing!

Bob loves working on our yard and he seems to always have some project going.  When he's not working on something, he has some plans going in his head!
I really like his latest additions.

We had a trellis in the corner of our back yard, but it was black and didn't show up well against the trees.  Also, the clematis on it was getting quite big, so he built this arbor around it.  It shows up so much more, and gives more room for the clematis to grow.


Here's a closer shot.  The light green is the clematis growing, and it will soon have white flowers on it.

 His next project was this fountain.


 It's not turned on in this photo, but it's a bubbler fountain, the water just bubbles over the top, and goes back to the basin.


 Here's a close up of it working.


It's called a 4 seasons fountain.  There are 4 different faces on it, representing the 4 seasons.


Here's a view from the bench, looking out over the backyard.

I think I'm pretty lucky, and he's pretty talented!
