The Finished Bridge

Alan was able to take a day off this past week and finish the carpentry on the bridge. Then we bought a gate and hung that, and found the old planter we had floating around. Today I planted petunias and alyssum in the planter and we can now call the bridge finished!

It's very sturdy and hopefully will outlast us. We even were able to coax the ram lambs across it this evening, with the help of a scoopful of feed. The bridge is actually a very pleasant place to listen to the birds and the stream in the shade.
