Spring Cleaning

This past weekend was dedicated to spring cleaning. I cleaned out the flower beds (both of them), dug up weedy bushes and a long dead rose bush accompanied by an equally sad trellis. We also tore out the dog fence. We put the fence up five years ago for the dogs to have a place to go outside and run around as Art and I were both away from the house for most of day. Now that we have only Buddy and considering he doesn't go any farther than the couch, the fence wasn't really necessary anymore. Besides, it was a real eyesore. At some point in the future when we have another dog we'll have to put in a dog run, and Art suggested a nice picket fence (which I had suggested five years ago, but this was cheaper) but for now we'll leave it as is.
