So much Yardwork! Here are some pictures of our newly bald yard after cutting down trees along the fence-line. Next step is renting the mulcher (anyone need fall mulch) and then chainsawing and digging out the stumps that are growing right into the old fence.
Piles and piles of trees to be mulched...





This was a shot from the bathroom, but since we have a new window *yay!* there is now a screen to photograph through...
And the dog. She certainly is much more at home with us now. This means she has no problem sleeping on the furniture, sleeping in the bed, eating entire pans of ground beef right off the stove, or drinking out of Ian's beer glass while he isn't looking. what a dog! (for the record, we don't encourage the beer or the beef, it's just a major learning curve around this old cat house, since a cat will never go for a beer. Besides, the cat mentality prefers you to bring the dinner right to them. Why bother jumping up on the stove when I can sit here and you will obviously deliver dinner into my bowl?)
