Gone AND forgotten

Well, we came home to a seemingly huge and empty backyard. Of course the giant earth mover in the middle of the alley was pretty cool too. We checked to see if the door was unlocked and the keys were inside but no, someone was actually very responsible. Dang, we had visions of tearing up the town :-) literally :-)

All kidding aside, it's pretty exciting to know that in a few days they will begin rebuilding the garage. I think I am most excited about two things. 1. I can park the car in the garage over winter (no longer having to shovel it out to go to work) and 2. That once the garage is built we can begin relandscaping the backyard. That will be fun.

New pathways, new gardens, new porch, and even a water fall. Very exciting!

The only down part to this whole adventure is the loss of yard the puppy's will experience. I think to be honest we may only loose a 10X6 foot section of lawn space. We'll have to change the way we toss their toys, but I think they still have enough room to run around. We have a temporary fence up that reduces the yard by a lot more than what the end space will be. They didn't seem to care much which is good.

I have to remember to take pictures. :-)
