fenced in…

Spring has shown us it beautiful possibilities in the past few days and let me tell you it was wonderful. We took to the outdoors in full force and made good use of the playground down the street.

Gwen, Harrison, and Lexi played nicely together and that was a joy.

We were lucky that the nice weather held out while we had a new fence put in on the side of our house.  I was scrambling for my camera to get a before photo but the workers were way too fast for me. By the time I got my camera they had basically demolished and hauled away the whole fence.

This is looking from our yard into our neighbors. We both have dogs and they had chewed up the bottom and were getting in and out of their designated yards, that is when you know it is time to replace the fence.

James told me that I was probably freaking out the workers by taking photos, as if it were for some kind of insurance purpose, I would not have thought that far ahead, but I would think of snapping a few photos for a blog. I guess that I where my mommy mind automatically goes.

Now for the AFTER:

Ta Da!!  Too bad it makes the rest of the fences look like crap.

Thank you fence guys. It even smells like freshly sawed wood.  Ahhhh.

And look, no dogs will be getting under this fence. Thank goodness.  Spock used to just wait by the fence for the neighbor dogs to come out and play, but now all he does is…

Chew on the left over wood chips from the old fence.

Be careful if you get too close to the wood scraps he will take you out with his little pink tongue and all.

Oh yeah there is a lot of this now too. We call this the depressed waiting. Since the neighbor dogs can no longer get through the fence Spock kind of mopes around and gives us some pretty pathetic looks. Sorry buddy but I am sure that you will get over it. I know I am.
