    Terry, your projects are amazing. How did you build the shade structure?

    for shade i found two heavy metal room dividers on sale, the top scrolling was perfect for inserting strips of cedar and wiring on with old garden roses in the background to grow to cover the top. the room dividers are stationed with rebar and on the concert side i drilled into it and inserted the support into the ground and wired. now its ready for weddings in the future.

    Looks like the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee! We have a butterfly bush - and right now there are about 50 butterflies fluttering around. I'd love to see a herons in my yard - what a treat!

    Terry S after I lost all my fish to a heron I had a Large Tiki Umbrella installed attached to a 15' high log. Since then I haven't had any problems.

    Eclectically Vintage Herons are beautiful but nobody with a pond wants to see one in their yard as they love to eat fish.

    Terry S - we were eating dinner in Hawaii, overlooking a beautiful koi pond when a heron swooped down a few feet from our table and scooped up a poor koi!! Needless to say, I did not order seafood that night1

    Terry S I wondered where Fort White Florida was. I learned one thing I really like:

    Most of the land is family farms and/or forests. Must be a nice place. So many parts of florida: Most of the land is CONCRETE or will be soon!
