short bursts of work

 Bob, elder daughter and I spent the weekend doing work!! She is having a new deck next weekend and wanted to repair the "dog dug holes" along the house's back wall. ( More to do next weekend when the old deck is gone!).....

so we removed old plant roots, moved bags of new dirt from her trunk into the back yard and generally cleaned up. None of us can manage long spurts of labor!

I'd say we accomplished quite a bit! The weather was great... at the end of the day we treated ourselves to Chinese on Saturday and Mexican on Sunday. No cooking to cleaning up!!

More holes next weekend when we won't have to be underneath the old deck!!

My daughter and I also made a trip to the Vet's thrift store to leave a trunkful !

Our daughter has a Bradford pear in the back yard. This year it has loads of little "berries" - pears?? The dogs love them and will stand on the hind legs to pick them.

It is also where a squirrel loves to sit ... on the very highest branches. The dogs watch it avidly... hoping to catch it as it jumps down onto the fence and escapes.
