Jane Visits

Lovely day today, in the 80s, sunny and breey.

Jane came today for a visit to tour the garden.  She had some great suggestions, and admired everything.  It was about 4 pm and very bright and sunny -- not the best conditions. 

After, we sat on the patio, but there is simply no afternoon shade.  We moved the rockers and huddled in the one small spot of shade from the umbrella.

The awning above the deck provides no shade at all at that time of day.  It's nice at noontime and I enjoy my lunches under the awning, sitting on the deck, but late afternoon is impossible out there.

It's one of the big disappointments about enjoying my garden --  at the end of the day you can't sit anywhere and enjoy it.
