Everything's Coming Up Roses

You know there've been lots of Changes around here.The biggest one has been OurGirl heading off to College.(She loves it.)(We miss her.)
Seems Moma has wanted to make some more Changes.Improvements, she says.(Aren't we Perfect already?)
She got some new Shoes.(If you can call them shoes.)She says they are for a Very Special Purpose.

We hope they are for walking us in the Bogs.Near the Ponds.Through the Puddles.In the Rain.Or melting Snow.
Wellibobs, they are.Just like Auntie Ami's.

Straight from the SquareHouseCouriersSpecial Delivery.(With good scents of Eric and Otis on the box.)
Whatever.
They make Moma really Happy.She smiles when she wears them.And she thinks of Auntie Ami.And she hopes they bring Smiles to the people that notice them.(Not Snickers.  Smiles.)
But those aren't the Changes she's been planning for.
She's had Big Ones in mind, apparently.(No.  She's not dating.  Yet.  And no.  She hasn't seriously started a diet. Yet.)
It didn't take too long for us to recognize the changes she had in mind.Our Lawn turned into Bare Earth.

and a Mountain showed up by our driveway.

We started with this:

Which turned into this:

and ended up like this:

It was all a Really Exciting Project.

We were the BEST Spectators and Evening Inspectors.

We've had fun sharing it all with admiring passersby.

The Bees have come to visit (and stay)

And the Hummingbirds have briefly dropped by

(Actually, the hummer was interested in Moma's welli.)

If you're interested in the long version of the Project

Moma helped us create a Smilebox of it.

I'm the Narrator.

A somewhat Reluctant One

'cause it was thundering something terrible

when Moma decided to start taking the Pictures.

But

Good Dog that I am

I complied

(sort of)

and helped Moma take a gazillion photos.

For your enjoyment.(If you have a lot of time to kick back and watch.)

So?

Bottom Line?

Life is Good around here.

Even if we do miss OurGirl.

We've got Responsibility.

It's our job to be on Deer Patrol

(as if we could give a rip ... they're our Friends)

and we are s'posed to remember to

"Pee in the Rocks"

(Seems yellow spots in the yard weren't in the design.)

xxoo

We'll keep you posted.
There are bound to be new Adventures with this New Garden.
