A Last Summer Project

 We managed to squeeze in one more project in the yard.


David took last week off to extend our fence to a six foot privacy fence.

Before

 After


It was totally easy and fast!
And a bargain!  
We had a quote from a company for 5 thousand dollars!
We spent around 900 to DIY!

With such great savings our Hawaii trip is BACK ON!

Enjoying Nice Days

 Sunday after lunch we went out for a hike.



I didn't expect so many colorful leaves!






The dogs had fun.


The humans had fun.


It makes me miss summer already to see the leaves changing!
We don't have any bad weather in the forecast, but I'm going to savor these warm days!

Our Long Weekend


Dave had a four day weekend, so we got some work done on Friday.
Four tons of rock was delivered and now the boat can be parked on the side of the garage!


We did normal weekend stuff.
But Monday we went for a hike.  
One Dave looked up and was listed as "easy"


Well, we spent quite a lot of this "easy" trail on paths like this... Pretty much a crazy rocky hill.  
I almost died.

But when we got to the top, which is called buzzard's lookout, it was worth it!



Then before we started back down we referred to the picture I had taken of the trail map.
 We realized somehow we had taken the hard trail!  
There was a crucial fork where the trail continuing turned from green to black, and the trail that split off to the left was the green trail.  
Well, shit.


We took in the view, started breathing again(me) and then headed down.


But it was worth it.


And we did see a buzzard! 


And we took the green trails all the way back to the truck!
