Odd N Ends

 So my work required me to remain self quarantined for 10 days due to close contact with some one with Covid. When I got back to work, I had to send our health dept folks a photo of my temperature check as I entered the building. Green Check is Good!

Anyways, I had some time to kill, so I organized my ratty old tool box. The winter was tough on it too. It had been tipped over, and all the junk just tossed back in. Not good at all. 

There, much better-top try all sorted.

One drawer for screwdrivers-I think I have enough......

And those pesky stray sockets-metric and Standard, all sorted out now. I have a set with the sizes sorted out, these are just Odds N Ends.

My beautiful gardener came and did the 1st mowing of the year. 

 She's so good!

We also had a small family get together while my younger sister was visiting for Brother's funeral. Bean was messing with me...

They said, they took a picture of me taking a picture.....I sure love these two! 

And these two too

And these two too! We had a nice lunch at Julie's and I sure hope we get to visit a little more often soon!

And then yesterday I was alerted that the contractor that's going top build the new deck was going to bring cement ! I had to cobble together a fence to keep the dogs out of that part of the yard. I just gathered up all the odds n ends I could find to keep them in the back part of the yard. More to come about that cement!

50% of Escapees Can't Be Wrong

SO, you know you have a problem when the dog you let into the backyard is barking at the front door.

I walked the fence with DD yesterday and thought I had found the escape route, but Surprise! The dog was at the front door again today! DARN!!

There's the place! Right next to the East gate. When the city folks came and fixed the dirt from their work LAST YEAR...they removed a section of fence for equipment and didn't replace the Dog Escape Proofing that I had installed all the way around the yard when the fence was new.

So luckily, I had a small section of Dog Escape Proofing fence leftover and stuck it right in there! Dog Escape Proofing is my invention. You cut off sections of metal reinforcing mesh so there's pointy wires on one side, poke them in the gound and then wire it to the chain link.

Works really good, unless it has been removed!

See it goes all along the fence to prevent escaping dogs!
  Ok dogs come and have a cookie!
