Landscaping is hard work!

"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work." - Colin Powell

We laid out flower beds, cut and rolled sod, "carpeted" low spots in the yard, laid landscaping fabric, and mulched -- whew! We had a really busy weekend, but next comes the fun part. Stay tuned for before and after pictures. Piper had a big day too. She loves to "help" dig, pick up sticks, spread mulch, and today, she stayed home alone out of her crate for the first time. When we got home, we found her napping in "her chair" by the window. Our little girl is growing up!

P.S.: Happy Father's Day to Eric and all the Dogfathers!

"Thoughts will change and shift just like the wind..." - Jeff Bridges. We thought we were going sailing today, but with "gusts" up to 5 mph, we shifted our plans.
