It's a little later than usual, but we had such a cold spring that no one would have enjoyed the screen room until now. With temperatures finally in the 70s (and even 97 last Tuesday!) it was time to get the screen room set up for the season.
This year we put a piece of Astro Turf on the ground before setting up the screen room. There is so little grass growing in that area because of the shade, that we might has well have something besides dirt under summertime bare feet. Kevin and Joe were nice enough to struggle with the mass of canvas and netting that makes the screen room.
Checking the perimeter. After getting it anchored so that the first strong wind doesn't take it down, the screen room is ready for chairs, a table, and the little TV/Video player. It's always handy to have on hand when kids want to watch the Wallace & Gromit videos on a summer day...
...or if Kevin and I want to watch an old Miss Marple, while still being able to enjoy the pond and the flower garden without getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.
