Ummm… this thing on?
It appears so. Bit of technical difficulty at our end, what with the schooling and the traveling and the squids and such. We now rejoin your regularly scheduled DogmawBlog, already in progress…

Cool Contest!

The drainage pit.
This is what the drainage pit looks like. Mostly that is. The stuff on the rocks washed there after a big storm, but it is mostly gone now. And I have finished the border around the area. Many thanks to Kurt and Daphne for the wonderful zombie! Unfortunately he floats, so we are going to [...]

The deck is almost done
It still needs to be stained, which will happen in a week or so. Evidently you have to wait 2 weeks to stain and waterproof a new deck. Not sure why, but the construction people say it is true. I’ll have more pictures of the deck when it is really finished.

Grass!
We have achieved grass. Very short grass for right now, and it needs to be watered every day, if not twice a day. It is growing in sort of strange since we had a rain storm right after we planted it, and the seed ended up mostly in the hollows… including in footprints! It looks [...]

Snakes on a Plane
I really enjoy the movie Snakes on a Plane. Over and over again. I’m just that kind of girl. So I watched it with Andrea while I was in Atlanta. In return she sent me this picture of snakes on a plane. Perfect for all you math people out there.  If you click on the [...]

Bird Tape
We have a mini cherry tree with 5 different varieties of cherries on it. In previous years it would get cherries, and the birds would get most of them. We tried bird netting, but it seemed like the birds would land on the netting and eat the cherries through it. So this year we tried [...]

Wizard101
We are still working in the yard. The deck guys need to come and pick up their extra wood, the yard guys are almost done. So we are laying out rocks for a landing and around the drainage area so it looks prettier. I have been going out in the evening and morning to carry [...]

Days 2 and 3
What you don’t see is all the work they did digging ditches and putting in the drainage system. I’m so glad we are having someone else do it!

Construction Junction
I have been off visiting people lately, which is why no posts. Instead of jewelry this week, you will get pictures of the ongoing saga of construction in our back yard. We have discovered in the last couple of years of normal rain fall that the entire neighborhood seems to drain into our back yard. [...]
