The work never stops around here!

Tripp has been hard at work on the pergola non-stop and today we have the first beams of what will very soon be an awesome shade-maker. The 2x10s are heavy and awkward, but Tripp is determined to get this project done so is making the best of the beautiful weather and forging ahead. We hope to see the other two 2x10 beams installed today and maybe even the first rafters.

As for the garden, not much is happening as we await our second round of seed planting and the passing of the last frost. Becky hopes to plant 10-day plants next weekend and Tomatoes and other warm-soil plants the following week. With any luck we'll get enough sun and rain to have something yummy to eat by June 1st. Luckily, the Athens Farmers' Market opens next weekend so we'll have some local produce in no time at all.

In case you need a little green in your diet, here's a look at one of our Romaine Lettuce plants as of March 20:
