We just bought our first house and moved in 3 weeks ago. Our back yard is a hillside with oaks. Very lovely. The yard was hideously neglected, and I'm having to remove a lot of stuff. Your photos of flowers and such have inspired me - I'm going to take "before" and "after" photos and maybe some "inbetween" photos. This is going to be a big job, but a labor of love.

Morning there - Gran's pics of her beautiful grounds make me want to just shoot mine.

Well, I sure am the late one getting here...just was too busy going to the store, cleaning the house, washing clothes, cooking BigDoms dinner, playing with Dizzy...etc, etc....I was busy, busy, busy....

Well, poor BigDom...he had planned to have a nice 3 day Labor Day weekend, but due to the trusty post office, he has to work on Saturday....its not enough he works 11, and recently 12 hours a day, during the week, now they have a whole herd of worker bees coming in on Saturday....he could hardly refuse, being as he has not worked a 6th non scheduled day in some time....When you are on the ODL(overtime desired list), at the post office, when they say come in, you best come in...

So poor BigDom will have to work Saturday...oh well, like he says, its massive overtime(your postal dollars at work), and one can always use more money...but at least they did not have him come in on Sunday instead, thereby breaking up the days off...at least he will have both Sunday and Monday off, plenty of time for he and I to journey to Tacoma, and cause some havoc in our search for more beer and more eats, and new and interesting places to party....

Grannie....that pic looks idyllic....

Mo....fantastic pic of the basset....look at them ears...that doggie looks like it could just take off flying...thanks....
