We took it easy for most of the summer this year.  We eventually decided that the project for this year would be a new patio behind the house.  Our plan was to move the bar there and then connect the back side of the patio to the back door of the house with a path and steps through a new garden. 

We finished the patio, but connecting it to the back door will have to wait until next year.  Since the bar has a new home, we needed a new function for the gazebo.  We decided that it would make a nice lounging area.  We took advantage of the end of season clearance sales going on this time of year and we got new furniture for it.
