The pergola now has flowers around it. Mostly mums of different colors, and some purple asters, including the two in the pots in front. On the right is a miniature Scotch pine (I think), which will be the outdoor Christmas tree we’ll decorate each year in honor of Jason.

There is a four-outlet AC box in back of one of the back posts. We are thinking of some landscaping lights back there; I want to get some LED-type on a timer. LED lights are harder to find, but they will be very ‘sippy‘ of the AC.

I am also thinking of some corner braces at the top of each post for a bit more support for windy conditions. We’ve had some 40-45mph winds with a couple of storms this summer, so perhaps the support is a good idea.

This project is done. Some minor cleanup, but that can wait. Got a college football game to watch.
