Because it amused me.

An IM I sent to dormouse_in_tea (shortly before setting the cat back down - she likes lap-time but only for short periods, for some odd reason...).

Me: Babe is very sweet.
Me: Babe is convinced my lap is pre-pregnancy size.
Me: Babe is an optimist.
Me: Babe is an optimist with her butt and one hind foot in the air. *amused*

Back deck.

So. Our old back deck was not well-set and was sagging; also we were warned it was badly-handled with regards to interfacing with the siding and could lead to water damage in the future by trapping water. It was also a pain to care for because of all the vertical wood surfaces. So we replaced it.

The replacement work is mostly done (still some cleanup to be done, but I don't think you can see much if any of it in these photos), but here's the new deck (click for bigger pictures):



I like it. :) And now I go to beeeeed.
