It's been a while I know but I have been so busy! We are dog sitting a 3 month old puppy for the week and it's like having a 2 year old child that you have to watch all the time! Only he doesn't wear a diaper!(wish he did!). Have been doing some major work to our retaining wall that was about to fall due to all the heavy rains we have had this winter. Of course more is involved that you think, like transplanting all the plants that were in the beds by the wall, digging holes for new posts, first removing all the blackberries etc. I had such a wonderful time with Barb for 4 days, that's right, 4 days because her car wouldn't start to take me to the bus so we got an extra day! Every day we walked the beach with Casper, did the thrift store rounds, house hunted for my niece and set up a new group on flickr call 'The Unpretentious Garden' as we found no other group to put photos of our funky gardens in. We now have 48 members so I guess there are others that felt the same. It was all a blast and lots of laughs! Here's Barb on her beach having a laugh!
