We were supposed to go to Driggs this weekend, but since I've been feeling sick, we opted instead for a weekend of rest, recovery, and yard work, followed by fireworks and more yard work. Here you can see the view out the front window improving dramatically.

Just a reminder about how bad it was.

Movin' dirt - one of the few things I'm good at.

The neighbors thought the "grass" looked good at this point (no where to go but up).

Not quite finished...but lookin' good.

Did we mention that we love the view?

Here is the much improved parking strip. You can tell that Erika vented some pent up artistic energy.


OK, and no blog posting is complete without paying homage to our offspring, who is smartly pointing out the dog in the comic strip (while "good dog Yea Yeah" is ignored).
