Sun Block

The back yard at 420 Grand is very shady:  There are several large fruit trees, not to mention a developing elm patch on the other side of the fence.  Unfortunately, the shade does not reach the back door until late in the day.  On hot afternoons when the sun is strong, the back stoop is a very unpleasant place.  I decided to block it with a triangular sun shade.  A square might have been better, but I don't have a place to attach a fourth corner.  At any rate, I have learned that it is difficult to block the sun.  As it moves from its apex overhead to the western horizon each day, it finds its way around the triangle.  It is an improvement though.
