Our house has a deck.
Recently the dog got sick at 4 a.m. After not producing sickness on the walk around the block, knowing that she still had much to produce, I chucked her on the deck so I could get some sleep.
The deck needed cleaning.

I went the whole 9 yards and put new plants in the pots (herbs, nicotina, and sweet williams), swabbed the deck and threw out all the old broken "Budweiser" deck chairs that came with the house. It looks straight out of Martha Stewart.

John, catching the activity bug, asked which trees needed to be chopped down. "This odd fruit tree, the Japanese paper lantern tree, and the lilac stays, everything else goes. No, that's a lilac. No, that's still the paper lantern." After much chopping, John discovered 1/4 of the neighbors peach tree hangs in our yard. It hasn't been thinned, or well kept but it has MANY EDIBLE PEACHES.
The neighbor also has a pear tree. Midnight adventures ahead.
