YARD WORK

Sea-Enna sure loves her new yard.  She chases her ball and lays in the sun at her leisure.  Although it was not fenced it is surrounded by bush and gives us plenty of privacy.  



But we always had to be out there with her, as just beyond our bush is #9 highway.  And with her fascination with Squirrels we were always worried that she would decide to chase one through the bush and be out on the road before we could stop her. 


So today's chore was to weave chicken wire through the bush, so that she can not get through to the highway.  



So we wove chicken wire in and around the trees stapling it to trees here and there as we went.  


We wove it through all the way along the highway side of our yard. 


Once in place you can hardly see it and it should disappear completely once the bush leafs out.  




While doing this job we realized we have a lot of dead fall in that bush that needs to be cleaned up so the young saplings can grow up and take over.  
 
 
 Sea-Enna was quite fascinated by, and loved the fact, that we were all out in her yard together all day.












I also managed to put up a few Dollar Store bird houses.  

















I don't know if the birds will inhabit them, but they are quite cute.  


I have a little bird feeder, but I need to buy some bird seed for it.  Then I also need some humming bird feeders and a little bird bath.  Then I will be able to enjoy our yard as much as Sea-Enna does.

IT WAS A GREAT DAY AT THE BEACH!
