Your beds are gorgeous.
Who’s the friend keeping an eye on things?
You must mean Max, my faithful Golden Retriever who is generally underfoot. However, he's very suspicious of the new fence. He was right on top of me during all that preparation until we "closed" the fence. Now he won't come near. He probably thinks that I might close the gate and lock him in! He's a rescue Golden that was found as a stry. His original rescuer took him to her parents' house where they locked him in a shed for 6 months before I got him, so he's a little cautious about gates. Can't blame him.
