The neighbor's fence is finished and has been since June 12th, I took photos and forgot to post them until a blog friend asked about the fence. We have put all repair ($$$$) on hold until we find out if the meds will help Bob.
Our yard waste goes in the blue bin, the big stick is one of two Sea-grape sticks I saved for walking sticks, after hurricane Milton.
That stick is perfect to hold on to while bending over picking up sticks, I can brace myself and pick up about 6 sticks at one bend over and not fall on my head.
The schefflera tree is the one just to the left of the blue bin. the entire stick of leaves drops, and the leaves come off. Bob has always just mulched the sticks and leaves and no need to pick them up.
Once, my neighbor Willie saw me picking up sticks and said Whatcha doing over there, DieHard.
the new name he gave me after hurricane clean up
When the young men who installed the fence, built this barricade, with a gate they took down from the neighbors yard and they left a half section of our leaning rotten fence, because if it is moved, there is a hole just the right size for a big fat nosy dog to dive through.
Baby Girl, now an angel, was the most stubborn dog on the planet |
Dan will remove the gate and our fence and patch the hole, next time he comes to work
our old fence, had wire all the way across to keep Angel Baby Girl from digging under the fence. She is angel now but was not when on this earth. I took the photos to show there is 2 feet between our fence line and the neighbors.
I filled the space between the strangler fig tree, with debris until Dan comes, I don't want Beau on the other side of it until the hole is fixed. the space you see is not an outlet, there is a chain-link fence there, our fence. Moving debris is how I met the granddaddy long legs that climbed my arm.

The fence looks very smart.
Living a 'just in case' life is not very relaxing, but I understand your caution in not spending too much. Hopefully, you will get your just rewards.
What a beautiful fence! Hooray! And hopefully once your son comes to finish the clean up job, everything will be just right and you can relax and not worry about Beau getting out. And yes, I understand about putting things on hold regarding waiting for health issues to either be resolved or figure out the next step. We are kind of in a similar situation now, although not to the extreme you are. But still, when there are issues that you really don't know what the outcome/prognosis, etc. will be, you just don't make any new plans. We are in a holding pattern for now, but next week we meet with the specialist and then hopefully we will get some answers. I am happy to see that progress is being made in your home/yard/life. One day at a time...God is working on it!!
Good to know Dan will help you with the remaining "fence fixing". ♥

It does look good and once that finishing is done, you can breathe a bit easier again. YAM xx
The fence is looking good. I'm glad that Dan will be coming to do the finishing touches on your side. I would love to have a fence around my yard but it's not in the budget.
The new fence looks great! Baby girl was a beautiful girl. We had a naughty pup that dug under things too. It wasn't fun then, but the memories make me smile now.
Repairing his Fence did make him a good neighbor
I like what you did to keep Beau OUT

PS Baby was a perfect example of 'girls just wanna have fun' she went about her day w/o a care in the world. That was your job.

Hello,
The neighbors new fence looks nice. We have a chained link fence that keep our Miney in the yard, one day she managed to jump off the deck onto the driveway to chase the Peacock. After that we needed to put her on a long lead when we let her outside. She can not be trusted. I am glad Dan will be coming over to do some work for you. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
The fence looks great!! Your yard is looking very nice and I'm certainly praying that there will be no more damaging hurricanes. Good thing you have Dan who I know is always willing to do what needs to be done for Y'all. The roots of the tree are fascinating...
Hurricane Helene was sumthin' else up this way! With so much acreage, I thought we never would get all the yard debris picked up but I'm not complain'. At least our home, workshop and tool shed was untouched because at least one tornado went right now the creek behind our home. Yipes! There were huge fallen trees everywhere. I thanked the Lord for His tender mercies!
The new fence is so nice. I wish we could afford a privacy fence between us and the Cemetery. (I think it's 400' feet we would need.) I'm so tired of my dogs going coo coo bananas every time someone visits their loved ones resting places. You'd think after all these years of living here they wouldn't do that ... bark, that is. Silly dawgs.
It's now really hot again. I'm going to stay inside, drink ice tea, and watch old Sci-Fi films from the 50s. Those are fun. Plus, I need to plan what to have for supper. Maybe sumthin' cold!
Love ya. 💖
The fence looks very nice and is a much needed improvement. I’ve not ever had a dog that was a digger, but I had an escape artist, and one with big paws that totally ruined the grass just by running in it. Still gotta love them though. They bring so much into our lives with their unconditional love and companionship.
Baby Girl sure was a beautiful, if a bit naughty, dog. Our last pooch Bridgette was like her. Always into something but oh the joy she brought us. The priority list is big with us right now too. We are getting a long list of things that need to be taken care of, but health comes first and you are wise to wait. I have always admired your yard for its exotic looking trees. A lot of work for you I know.
Baby Girl, what a pretty pup she was! Hope the new meds help. Fingers and toes, crossed.
Die-Hard is such a perfect name for you! I would love to change it, except I love The Mad One better. So I guess you are now The Mad Die-Hard. You really ARE die-hard. You do everything. And it has not made you ill, it has made you stronger.
