I see me

Keller was helping me take pictures of the now-empty backyard this afternoon. I got her unexpectedly in this shot, and I love her reflection. She can't put her snout against the door anymore because Dave plastic-ed the windows last night. :) But she can still neighbor-hood and trail-watch, so she's a happy girl!

Keller wishes you a happy Monday!

There's a dog in my spot

hey, you bed hog! Too funny.

A garden bug I don't mind

Holy cows, I'm sorry it's been over a month since we've updated. Here are some super cute pictures of my biggest garden pest....Keller. But I love her, so it's the one pest I allow in my garden!!!!

She loves to roam around in it and sniff after the various bugs. The grasshoppers always amuse her this time of the year. I used to freak out when she's run around in the garden, but I don't mind anymore. My plants are very forgiving and can take her. :)

We hope you had a great Labor Day!!! Keller has been helping Mommy train for the Twin Cities 10 mile race on October 1st. She's a very good running partner, especially now that it is cooler!!

Walkie Walk

I'm sorry this is sideways but it's too funny to not share. Keller knows English all too well. She recently caught on to the spelling of BATH. So, you can't spell it anymore and get away with it....

landscape helper

Keller was my assistant landscaper the past few days. She helped me convert the front entryway that was empty and loney-looking to a welcoming hosta garden. It's something I've been wanting to do since we moved in, and Dave didn't know I was up to it, so it was a bit of a surprise for him too (and free with the free hostas!) She was such a good helper! Here's a before and after.

How Keller and I roll after a long day's work

Homework caught up on and submitted. Grass cut. Rocks picked up for fire pit. Weed whacked. Keller to dog park. Last of the veggies and annuals planted. Now, we relax with fine grilled leftovers...veggies, vegan hot dogs, and marinated tofu. And stare at the manicured lawn that'll only need more work in a week, or less, the way the weather is going...
