Paul has done it (with some supervision help from Buster, formally known as Buddy)!  He added the finishing touches to the fence he’s been working on for three months now.  We lost the original one in a El Nino type storm in early winter.  It’s quite a fence, especially since he’s never built one before.  It was a slow process because we ran out of funds after we started.  Each week we’d buy a few more boards and add them on.  Finally it’s a full on fence.  Now we can sit in the backyard with a little privacy.

Paul wasn’t the only productive one today.  Petu caught two gophers today.  If you haven’t been counting, the tally is now 4.  I secretly encourage him because they are  ruining my gardening efforts….I have a hard enough time without them.  I think the diet we recently put him on played a role.  I think I’ll cut down his food a little more.

PS.  We’re still trying out names for the dog and I think we decided.  Instead of Buddy he is now officially called Buster Hooligan MacRoss. Buster for short.

Jennifer and Dan came into town this weekend and brought great weather with them. They did more in two days than we’ve done since we moved here. Now, they’re down in Pacific Grove with Janet doing even more things. It was a quick visit but they made the most of their time. It was great to see familiar faces in these parts.  Plus, the beach cruisers got broken in.
