pushin' rocks

we are completely done with the masons. we've started moving all the extra stone around.

have been creating planter boxes and spending too much time and money at the natural gardener

we have acquired a variety of flowering plants that attract butterflies. my daughter is so happy about their frequent visits.


the invisible fence is wonderful. both dogs have greatly improved their behavior now that they have freedom to roam around and work off excess energy. I even released marvin on a couple of deer. he stopped right at his boundary and the deer stopped to look back. they all seemed to be confused by the anticlimactic ending to his pursuit.
we caught him napping in the crushed glass suculent garden out front
UPDATE: pool inspector just left. I have a list of 5 issues to resolve and he is unsure if our fencing and pool cover will be adequate.
