Pretty snowy shots, Celeste and Bill! I actually miss those pretty scenes!

Hot and humid here today. I discovered that many of the plants I have in the "about-to-be" puppy yard are lethally poisonous to dogs....Great! I spent a lot of time growing the red vinca plants from seed, and they were just getting pretty. And my large Brugmansia has to go as well. They are on the "fatal" list, so I'm not taking any chances with these little mouth magnets. So, my morning was spent digging up vinca and red ti plants and moving them to the back line of the yard, far away from puppy exposure. I trimmed the Brug back from its 12' height to about 5', and Hank will help me relocate it to the back line too. We got the quote for the new door there, so the project is a go!! Yay....sanity shall return shortly! No more leash mummy antics for me in public soon!!! And the fun part is, I will soon get to landscape the now-cleared area outside the door with a rounded paver walkway through the garden bed to the yard and some new plants in the abbreviated garden area near the door. This time I have to be careful that I don't select dog-poisoning plants. Tomorrow, Hank will continue putting the fence posts in. He's had 2 days off to play. LOL

Here's a shot of the "before" of the area. The door to the sunroom will go in the center of the wall to the far left of the Brug.
