Aggie's Porch...

Remember our sad little screened porch?

Well, it's now Aggie-ready!  We keep Aggie's puppy potty out there, but I was always so afraid she'd see what she thought was an intruder in her domain and jump through the screen.  She's fierce that way!

It was a little flimsy - and the wind kept blowing my tree over.

Hence, the makeshift ribbon tie-up!

Aggie's friends (and mine), Tom & Al designed a dog-proof enclosure for Aggie - and a decorative plant shelf for her mom.

Al is the installation assistant today while Tom puts everything together.

Aggie is supervising.

Al is holding the shelf in place while Tom adjusts the supports.

Tom is getting the corner section just right.

Aggie checks out the final product.  It would appear that she approves.

Since the lawn guys and their blowers are the bane of my very existence, I washed the cushion covers and replaced the old cushions with new ones.  The seat cushion is a little plumper than the old one - and more comfortable, too.

I added some plants to the shelf - just a few small ones because I didn't want to block our nice view.

Much better!

Aggie checks out her fresh puppy potty.  Of course,

she still won't come outside alone!

The new hummingbird rug goes perfectly with the cushion colors -

and it was cheap!

Our lizard visitor, although I cannot figure out how he got in, seems to approve of the new plant shelf.

We love it!  Thank you, Tom & Al for making Aggie's screen porch just perfect!
