If you had a cat, the big ‘ol box would be repurposed.
Congratulations!
I’m going to hector James out of bed and then get dressed. DP and I plan to go to the wholesale landscape supply place - opposite the vet’s office - to look at paving stones and stuff. We’re talking with a landscape guy about doing some work in the back yard.
Ooohhh... how much fun is planning a landscape??
We had a dinky little back yard in CA, completely fenced, but when we moved in it was just dirt, which meant it was muddy when the rain came in off the Bay. So, I figured if we were going to live there for the duration (Igor was working for Ford-Aerospace) I wanted to look out on a nice yard.
By the time we moved, we had a very nice yard. We even built Rusty (Siberian husky) a doghouse from a single sheet of plywood. He didn’t stay outside, of course, but when he was out, he had a shady spot. I liked it there. It was a very large, three-bedroom apartment.
