Yay! My new [old] arbor is in! I love it. It was made by a couple of local guys who used scrap wood they had lying around; they wanted to flesh out a design and see how it would go. This is the prototype, so it's not fancy, not pressure treated, but I couldn't be happier. There's an optical illusion with the slope of the ground that makes it look a little higher on one side, but they put a level to it on all sides and she's as plumb as can be.
Once I get the clematis and sweet peas planted on either side, you'll never even notice the off kilter vibe. Once it gets cooler, I'll start the stone path from the arbor to the pond, and if there's enough stone, I'll make a small pad for the iron bench. Now to get someone in to help get my alpine garden started...
