Slowly Progressing.....

Greg's finished the retaining wall.....it's been a job! The leveling process Greg used to make sure we ended up with a straight and level line across the front of the house was complicated once we realized the patio and walkways he used as a reference point were not level. Rain has created several delays too. He's earned his stripes on this job! We will be filling in the landscape with top soil, especially the corner of the house under the arched window as there is a two foot drop there. Once we have that soil in, we will transplant our existing bushes and then add new plants. The final stage will be the river rock on the finished beds. We hope to have a very productive July 4th weekend.

And speaking of progression, Colby is now mobile enough to follow Ty, his partner in crime. They ended up in Ty's room and played quite well together for a long period of time today. I kept peeking in on them but love how they interact without me hovering. Marley spent the weekend with us while his family traveled. He doesn't know enough to be afraid of Colby and tried to sit on his lap! Marley didn't even notice Colby pulling his fur or tail! He is just a happy little dog. Lauren will be going through some serious Marley withdrawals once he goes home.
