A 'By the River' Bench

 Building a bench was a family project this summer.

 Our house is situated on a peninsula.  On one side, there is a little beach.  This is the spot I bring our dog Drayton to do his morning laps to deplete some of the Labrador puppy energy.  The ducks are fleeing a potential capture.

 Since this is part of our daily routine, I wanted a bench to rest while Drayton swims.  Drayton and I have been walking the kids to school (or rather, he drags me) and then coming to this little spot.

 This is certainly a crew of DIYers.

 Rob found some plans on-line.  Search "how to build a bench," and you will find many different styles. 

Now, all we need to do is seal the wood, so it will last for many years.

This is a great spot to sit under the shade of the River Birches and sip something warm! 

 

Not interested in building your own?  Here are some great looking benches!  The 'Softcross 2-Seater Outdoor Garden Bench' is one of my favorites and is reasonably priced!

 

I hope you all are having a great start to the new school year!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
