Have a seat!

The Elm Court garden has a new addition- a bistro table and seating for four. Joe Kolman noted that our evenings could be spent outdoors if only there was a nice place to relax after work. Our building is lucky enough to have some undeveloped land along the fence and set about finding the right table and chairs for this location. The residents of 34-50 all agreed the spot would be just right for the table, and wanted to make it available for all of our neighbors as well.

Joe C. and Joe K. cleared the ground, put down some nice red cedar mulch and set up our new garden attraction. We relocated a couple of hostas so nobody has to jump over a plant to get a seat, and all the residents inaugurated the new seating with a couple of bottles of champagne. Since then, a few inquisitive souls passed by, read the welcoming message and have tested it out. Mothers and their children, people with a newspaper and cup of coffee and even a toy doll have been observed enjoying the peaceful garden views from our table. It's a real treat to have a nice spot to sit in the shade on a warm summer's day, and this little table and chairs makes it more fun than ever to enjoy our garden.

So far, it's a hit! The table and chairs are foldable and easily stored so they can go inside in the fall. Stop by anytime and relax in comfort! Our house is happy to provide some comfortable seating in our little 'bay' for all Elm Court residents to enjoy. Summer doesn't get any better than this!
