Well, it's been a longish day. We went to an art show, nice stuff, professionals and amature artists, some of the stuff was QUITE expensive. I took the camera, but no pics (not allowed), then we drove to Rona and picked up some garden supplies, we got a hangy flower box holder for our balcony, and about 24 snapdragons, hopefully they will bloom. These were hung over balcony side in, by Roanna, I'll snap some photo's and post them when there is some flowering action happening. I grabbed a nap, then refreshed and recharged, applyed some suntan lotion and went back out on the balcony to rub down yesterdays treated wood with steel wool and restained it again. It was a pretty messy job, so we are not gonna let out the cats until we can clean up the balcony well.
Now I am showered up and clean, the Flames game is on in about 45 minutes, so we are gonna watch that, I am also gonna study the assembly instructions for the chair. After that is done, we have a little fountain that Roanna's Granddad gave us so we want to put that out on the balcony for some of that running water sound that is so relaxing. We also have to hunt down a few cheapish hanging shades to put outside, to block the sun when we want to sit out on the balcony. Obviously we want to reduce the amount of sunlight coming in so it doesn't melt our pitcher of fresh margaritas!!!!

So a few more things to do, then we should have a nice little cozy place to relax on in the evenings. Since we are gonna be here for a bit longer, we might as well make it as cozy as possible. Anyhoo, enjoy the pics below, tomorrow I'll post some of the step by step pics.

Have a good weekend everyone.
