Now is that a beautiful fence, or what?




Not sure if we told anybody that big sections of our fence blew down, quite literally, during a wind and snow storm a few months ago. I had it propped and wired and held together with everything from duct tape to Gorilla Glue, hoping it would last until spring, but it did not. We found a great fence guy on Angie's List (Have you ever heard of that? It is a fantastic way to find great people to finish things like, oh I don't know, kitchen remodeling .) So here are some pictures of our new fence. I showed the guy some photos of a Craftsman style gate (our house decor is Craftsman style) and he was able to customize the gates to make them complement the house. And what comes after a fence...maybe...a puppy? No pressure Dave, really. Really. Almost. Kind of. Just sayin'...Come on June. Get here soon.

Re: June--I am actively recruiting my replacement and I have at least two FABULOUS candidates who can start in May, so I can hand stuff off to the one we choose.

I know what you are thinking--nice fence, pathetic grass! Our trees are so thick now our grass is dying. Any suggestions?

Looks great! What kind of puppy are you thinking of getting?

I'm a long-time black lab fan, but I am really just at the getting-Dave-used-to-the-idea stage. When we are ready it will depend on dogs who need good homes. We will find a rescue or fostered dog. Probably not realistic to do it until June when I retire.
