Anniversary & Garden Projects

So for our anniversary this year, Chris got me an awesome gift - a patio set!! I have been wanting one forever, and we never agree on what to get, so he surprised me and got exactly what I wanted!
Note the plywood leaning against the fence below... Guinness has been escaping recently because of the ground heaving and the fence popping up a bit. He found that he could squeeze himself under the gap if he really put his mind to it... So until the fence drops back down, his escape route is covered!

And now on to garden projects! I saw this online or something, about creating a mini-greehouse for your starters to help them get going. It has been working great for these Dahilas!

Guinness said he wanted to help with the yard work, but really, he just wanted to lounge around...

Most of you probably know I'm an ideas person. I'm always finding great ideas that I want to try, like the cute idea I found in a Magazine -but I'm no so good with actually making these ideas happen...

So I was really proud of myself for actually completeing this one! It had to be blogged ;)

First ride of the season

Sunday was our first official ride of the season. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, sunny and with a light breeze (which helps keep you cool!) So we headed north to Sutton, one of my favorite "close by" places to ride...

In the truck on the drive. Guinness isn't a huge fan of getting his picture taken...

Self portraits with helmets... tricky...

Dori with the bikes

After the ride - totally dirty, sweaty and exhausted, but it was awesome!!

Raina

So Sara and Tim finally got their little baby Beagle - Raina. She is a doll - so quiet and sleepy! Guinness loves her, and they seem to get along pretty well. Occasionally Guinness forgets she's still small and runs over her, but overall, they enjoy romping and playing. She is going to the boss of him though - I can tell...



Apparently, Guinness was also working on getting his drivers license this week. He was ready to drive us home from church yesterday - except that his legs are too short to reach the pedals...
