Demolition underway

A beautiful day today...not to warm (in the 60s) so Alan began
to remove the pond foundation. He bought a power hammer...like a jack hammer to make the job easier. What he discovered is that  when the pond was built those many years ago it was built very well.... totally reinforced. The task is not complete... it will take a few more days of drilling. Murphy is right there to pick up stones, weeds and dirt. Before Alan began the pond he had to fix a leak in the irrigation line...
Murphy was front and center then too. So, they spent a good part of the day working while I sat around. We seem to be having trouble resetting the irrigation timer so I will need to call someone in.ir
So often I see pictures of cats helping at the computer....now Murphy sits on me lap with the occasional  paw or nose onssss the keyboeard as he  is   nm now. See what I mean!  
I am happy to report that my heel is almost healed and that the pooches incision is healed. I am trying to remember just where I stored my hankies forf my quilt... obviously they are in the garage craft area.... I am sure of it. At the moment Alan and Lisa are preparing dinner....so off I go.  
Always so nice to chat with you. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.        .

Murphy is very busy these days. Looks like Alan has a big job ahead of him but he has quite the helper. Lol. Glad your heel is better.

Oh my goodness, you have got the Brother Alan working hard! It will be worth it in the end.

I wonder if Murphy recognises any blogs you read with animal pictures on them.

Hi dear friend, I just got home from the hospital and all went well. minus one bad kidney. I am so glad to be home. I cried when I saw Jasmine. Silly me. Hubby is very helpful and glad I am home. I am going to put on pj's and relax on the couch or my chair and read a couple of magazines. Dave is out later for fish n chips. Thanks for all the prayers they helped me thru this ordeal. I am so glad to have wonderful friends. Big hugs love Lynda Ruth

Glad you're on the mend and can supervise the yard work. Why are you taking out the fountain?? Perhaps you said in an earlier post and I missed it. Way too cold here to do any yard work, but I have been looking out the window seeing many things that need attention when the time comes. I didn't get to do my usual fall clean up due to the vertigo, so the spring clean up is going to be substantial I fear.

That looks like quite a work for Alan, and Murphy is the perfect partner at the job. Dogs are beautiful creatures; they can be a meticulous help at work and cuddly dear the next second. I loved how Murphy was enjoying his day at work. Glad to know that your heals are healing well. Have a peaceful month ahead, Gracie!! For more updates please visit us at https://www.bloghasting.com/
