In New England, where I live in the northeastern US, when you go to somebody's house, you go in by the side door. The front door is used rarely, and only for special occasions. So when you come to MY side door, this is what you see. If you open the storm door (it becomes a screen door in the summer when the glass is removed and a screen fitted in its place, as above.)
Open the screen door, and you see my pink side door, and the Welcome banner, which, dear Meagan, is well protected from the elements.
For those of you wishing to see photographs of the shade garden, my apologies. I got sidetracked. I, um...
ah...
uh...
I didn't do it. I went out and bought the edging bricks, as I said I would do. Then I went back to the big box hardware store and bought a gas grill.
On the plus side, the steak, asparagus, red onion and potatoes I cooked on it for dinner last night were divine.
