  1. What's the yellow, gray, and white image painted on the floor? Looks interesting.

  2. Howdy, we put a Native American medicine wheel of the Citizen Potawatomi on the deck, the colors represent the 4 seasons and medicines. The wheel is oriented to the cardinal directions of North, East, South and West and each season has a meaning as well as a medicine. North = Winter/Sweetgrass/Renewal, East = Spring/Tobacco/New Life, South = Summer/Cedar/Abundance, West = Autumn/Sage/Protection.
