I'm never sure what to call our "deck." Is it a deck? Or a terrace? It's not really a balcony, although you could call the north section that. The contractor that did the latest tile work called it une terrasse-balcon. Whatever it's called, here's the springtime view of our neighbors' property from ours.
Our neighbors have a beautiful snowball bush that's just starting to flower.
School spring vacations wind up this weekend, but the May holidays are right around the corner. First, there's May 1, Labor Day. Then the 8th, celebrating the end of WWII. Finally, the 29th is Ascension Day. All three of the holidays fall during the week, so there are long weekends ahead.
Such a beautiful view. Here, your “deck” would be called a terrace (terraza). Then again, what I used to call a patio at a restaurant is called a terrace, too. But soon, we’ll be touring the Patios de Mayo, flower-filled courtyard gardens.
ReplyDeleteI’ve read about and seen pictures of the Patios de Mayo. Beautiful!

Oh, I'd love to see a closeup of that snowball bush :) We have one here, on our side yard, but I think it has been taken over by a weed tree, and...well... I never take care of our side garden, so it's a mess.
ReplyDeleteThe row of trees is beautful. We'd call it a deck here I think.
ReplyDeleteYou have beautiful views in all directions. It would be called a deck here too.

mitch, I, too, have seen the patios in Spain thanks to tv. Very impressive!
ReplyDeletejudy, I'll see what I can do...
evelyn, I call it a deck, too, but normally I'd think of a deck as being made from wood.
bettyann, we enjoy them all year long!
deck sounds like a wooden floor with a Weber grill.
