My calendar shows several days without volunteer shifts scheduled, temperatures forecast in the 70s, so it looks like in addition to mowing and digging garden beds I'll be putting up the next fence panel, and once the current pickets are up off of the garage floor, shopping for the next set of pickets (and a gallon of wood preservative). I have to move this along because there are a few old pickets almost falling down off the existing fence. (I put that up in 2005, so it has had a good long run. I fixed the fences when my first dog, the charming and whip-smart pitbull Cinnamon, arrived and decided to stay. There is no such thing as a "free dog.") The old fence was Douglas fir or pine pickets, attached with nails. The next iteration of yard fence is treated cedar attached with screws. Hopefully to have an equally long life.

The garage can use more cleaning, and I have 20+ year old pump still in the box that takes up space and I should consider selling, because I don't think I'll ever get around to running a line into the creek to water the yard with it (though that was what the previous homeowners did - I bought a new model of the old rusted pump that was in the yard when I moved in.)
