Busy Month

Wow, didn't realize I hadn't been on here in almost a month.

We've been pretty busy on our weekends, what with tearing down the yard fence on the west side (really, just finishing the work the blackberries had done), pulling up the remnants of the garden fence (again, destroyed by blackberries), and pulling down the small potting shed beside the house.  We've now got the fence almost all down, except for the panel right at the end, and hopefully today we will be out in the yard this afternoon, sinking new posts and installing our new fencing panels.

Once the fence is done, making it safe once more for our dogs to be outside without constant "eyes on" supervision, we'll be able to start on the base of the raised garden beds.  I'm thinking we may need to pull out the wee apple tree.  Where it's placed, if it's allowed to thrive it blocks access to the back of the garden, and it's never really done well anyhow.  If we do pull it out, in other areas of the yard I'd like to plant a cherry tree, and possibly a nectarine tree (since Maxx doesn't like the fuzz on peaches).  We'd have to see what's available at nurseries.  I know cherry trees are available!

Anyhow, off to scrounge up something for breakfast, waiting for Maxx to finish getting some sleep so we can get up and at 'em!
