The pergola is a shady spot perched on a hill overlooking the rose
garden.
From the six-foot redwood swing, three people can overlook the garden
an enjoy the blooms and their fragrance.
A pair of yellow "Golden Shower" roses cover the sides and back of
the pergola.
In front of the swing are coral pink "Perfume Delight" roses.
The floor is natural stone, taken from the property and grouted in
concrete.

The wind vane was purchased on a trip to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
It features an Amish buggy, pulled by a horse. It frequently
points to the west,
where our prevailing breeze comes in off the ocean, around San Luis
Obispo.
