Arbor Day

Ah, so what, it's not. But every day here is Arbor Day. Not only does Lynn enjoy fencing, she also has a penchant for arbors. Yeh, she's odd like that. Lucky for her, Jim is quite talented at building them. He uses cedar found in our woods and cuts, smooths, and grooves it all using hand tools. I am sure there are more appropriate terms for the work but I am woefully ignorant of them. His finished products are impressive as all get out. Take a look.

This one is located at the front of our house welcoming guests as they arrive. Would be nice if this thing would serve a drink or two as you walk through but hey, it's pretty.

Many of our visitors arrive in the back of our house so of course an arbor is required to welcome them. Lynn has this one covered in clematis. Adds a nice touch.

And finally, the arbor to nowhere. Seriously, I have no idea why she had him build this one. Maybe she was channeling Sarah Winchester,(look her up if you do not understand the reference) or maybe she was just in a mood. Who knows. It is like 10-12 feet tall and 6-7 feet wide. This leads out into our woods.
