A New Roommate

Yesterday I brought home a three year old Jack Russell from the DC animal shelter. He is a mellow character especially for the breed, I hope it doesn't change. I will need to discover a name that fits him, but right now I am calling him Mr. Jack Russell.

Update: I think Bleu will be his name, based on his demeanor it fits. It is also ease to pronounce and is masculine and so Bleu it is...

Landscaping: Coming to a Close

With fall comes the falling of the leaves and time to finish up yard projects. The city planted three River Birch shade trees last week, two in the back and the other in the front yard. I all goes as evisioned when anything grows into place I will have a peaceful backyard retreat.

I have removed all of the side walk and stairs in the backyard in preparation for pavers to be laid. The detail is how much over the allotted $1200 I'm will spend.
