I just finished doing some minor re-adjustment to the landscape in our front yard.
Feels good to get something done now that the rains have let up a bit.

I ended up doing it all by hand + shovel and rake, not the rototiller

Over the past several days our Lab, Vicky, started barking at every little noise, especially late at night when it was quiet outside.
Come Friday, the 2nd, she was getting to be a real mess with people starting with fireworks and we were dreading the 4th.

So Saturday morning we made a new game.
My wife and I would randomly yell "Bang" or "Pop" or drop a pan, slam a door, etc. Each time Vicky would get a small piece of dog biscuit treat and a lot of reassurance. For Labs, food takes priority over every other activity in the brain.

Well, she made it all the way thru the 4th as a calm and collected dog.
She even slept right thru the random fireworks that went off after midnight.

Yea Vicky ! Yea us... we got some sleep too.

We just got back from Santa Fe, NM. It was a nice weekend.

It was inexpensive, too, until we walked in to Momeni's Gallery on Don Gaspar street and walked out with two rugs that some guys in Afghanistan spent eight months sweating over.

Not perfect but not the one I was unhappy with earlier this week.
