The Fence and Such



Slightly out of order, but..... the backyard took a huge step forward over the last week or so.  The fence is 90% done and I cleared 90% of the debris.  I filled up a 20 yard debris box, I still can't get over how big that stupid ivy was.  I still have more work to do of course, there is still some bamboo to remove and a couple trees to plant, including my monkey puzzle tree and a couple pomegranates, which should arrive in a couple weeks.  

For New Years our friends Jamie and Steve came up to visit, we did a little wine tasting and went out to dinner and the ladies put all the stuff together in the Strawberry's room.  Unfortunately, I picked up a cold (no, it was the flu, he didn't get his flu shot and ended up sick AGAIN!), so I don't know how much fun I was.  I spent most of the time in a haze well lubricated with Caffeine and DayQuil.   We were all going to go t0 Willis' Wine bar for Vanessa's birthday, (they have food too), but I was not feeling up to it, so just the three of them went.  

On a different note, we are only 4 weeks away from The Due Date, so the Strawberry is right around the corner.  The Strawberry's room is all set and I did a practice run with the car seats, no problem.  We are both excited and nervous.  Well that's it for now. Here's a before shot of part of the fence that fell on me. Stay Tuned.
