Well it has been a very busy couple of weeks.  We learned quickly when you live on top of a hill you have to deal with the magic of erosion.  We planned to spend the summer slowly landscaping and instead furiously stuffed all that work into 2 weekends and a lot of evenings.  Hopefully now we can survive some rains without sliding down the hill.  We can't take credit for the fence and retaining walls, all we did there was write the check.  They really dress the place up though and with the new plantings it is starting to feel like home.

Hey Mom this picture is for you, thanks for the rockers we love them and use them every night!

And meet our newest family member Apricot.  Bebe doesn't like her much yet, lots of hissing and snarling but they get a little better together every day.

And Kellie this ones for you - no way we can get a garden planted this summer but we had to have the sacrificial tomato plants!  I'll let you know how they turn out.
