It's been a long time coming.

I wanted the plants to grow up a little before I showed you our back yard. I am loving it.

Life is good

All for me?

Hi it's Austin here, I wanted to tell you about the backyard. I have to say, it's been a real mess.

I've had to put up with such abuse, like my paws wiped off. I can tell you that the dirt added lots of fun to my life and couldn't understand how so much fun could be so much trouble. As they brought in all the materials to cover the dirt, I did what I could, ran along side of Carol as she got wagons of mulch from the fun pile. She wasn't as appreciative as I had hoped with my help. I often got nose to nose with John, trying to advise his placing the rocks around the pond. Again, with a firm voice he instructed me to move. Humm.

But here we are with this great back yard. When all was said and done, it must have been for me. All this work, for me....what a great thing for my humans to do. It is the best obstacle course I could have ever dreamed about. But I must ponder on the pond. This could be good.

But for now, it's fun to dream...what next are they doing for me.

What a weekend.

I don't have a lot to say, because I am speechless, also tired. We worked really hard this weekend on our pond and the black mulch. We have a lot of plantings to do to make it work together but this is the next step. Hope you enjoy the progress.

God Bless those who travel through my little blog

I'ts so nice to see change.

After the front yard achievement I thought maybe John would stop, go golf and take a vacation from the hard work. But to my surprise he got right into it, the back yard started to take change, you saw the starter pictures.

John has always been great at working through any problem. When we decided to do this, we decided that flat rocks would be fun. John had never used flat rocks to build a waterfall and pond. This was going to take time. But that's what he is good at. And of course will drive me crazy on the way to the solutions needed to design another masterpiece.

More pictures of follow as he works it. God Bless all those who follow my little blog. By the way, Austin has been helping John a lot on the landscaping. So he is a little busy to blog.
