Finally Using Our Capitol Hill House Backyard

We've lived in our Capitol Hill house for more than 8 years, but we have never really used our very small back yard.  Last year we had our fence and deck redone and bought a gas grill. Recently, I bought a small bistro table with an umbrella and tried fixing up the backyard a bit with some potted plants and petunias in the flower bed.  Also, our cactus and crape myrtle are blooming.  So, tonight, since the weather was nice (not too hot) I cooked some steak kabobs out on the grill and we used our bistro table for the first time.  Other than a slight explosion with the grill that singed my eyebrows and eyelashes, it was pretty nice.  Shane loved the kabobs.
