Today Harry and I spent the majority of the time working on the west side of our property pulling weeds and replanting what look like weeds but turn into some very nice tree like bushes. It was a long but satisfying day. It's nice to be able to say.. " I did that " and that fact that's it's our land and our property makes the more not so bad.
It was a good day with one exception.
Daisy was hanging out with us all day enjoying the outside fresh air when suddenly 3 dogs come running up the hillside and attacked. Two were large 90 + lbs Rottweilers and the third was a Rottweiler mix. Daisy, being about 40 lbs chased all three dogs back down the hill as Harry and I went racing after them. Called to her and she stopped at the top and of hill while the three ran down. Suddenly the larger one came back up and locked jaws with Daisy and she wrestled him down the hillside while the other one snipped at her from the sides. I torn down the hill side as the owner of the other dogs came running out of his house yelling. I wasn't sure what I was going to do to get them apart all I know is my little girl was going to get hurt and I was going to stop it. Again she stopped when she heard me yell but the other dog continued to lunge at her and she wasn't going to stand for it. Finally the owner of the other dog manage to grab the largest one and I got a hold of Daisy and we pulled them apart.
The owner apologized and said they got out by accident. I really didn't care what he said.. I ran up the hill with Daisy and once at the top examined her to make sure she didn't have any bites. She looked in good shape. I have to say that both Harry and I were very proud of her defending her property and her masters. She made be getting old (going on 10 years) but man she's one tough little girl.
Not wanting to take any more chances we left her in the house while we finished gardening.
One thing I do know is I want to get a fence around our property sooner then later.. it's now moved up the list of Thing we need to do.

More Shopping
It seems like every weekend Harry and I go out shopping.. now I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I wish we could just go out and find everything we need for the house, but so far.. not having that much luck. Today we went to Target, Staples, Ross, Bed Bath Beyond, Michaels and Bevmo. We were on the hunt for anything (accessory) for the house, picture frames and backpack. At Target I got a few T-shirts (not planned, but couldn't pass up Star Wars, Goonies and Ghostbusters T's), we got a cool nature picture for the living room and a frame along with some odds and ends. We had dinner next at Panda Express before heading over to Staples were we found a great back pack for Harry but we were unwilling to pay $90 bucks for it. We then went to Ross and almost got some throw pills for the couches but in the end didn't. Then to BBB and found some nice throw pills and a few candle wall sconces. At Micheal's we found some frames but again were way to expensive and I know they always have sales so we waited and since Bevmo was next door and I know they had one of Harry's favorite beers Gordan Biersch we stopped by and actually purchased about $90 in beer for him that should last a few months. All in all we didn't get everything needed but we did get a few more things.

Shutting Down
Today at 6pm post was shut down. They are switching over our power source this weekend and in order to do so we have to turn everything off and unplug everything. We opted that 6pm everyone would stop working and go home.. needless to say this made everyone very happy. To be able to plan to do something Friday night is rare for our editors. Of course 6 pm comes and goes and it take another half hour to get folks to leave and then we have to go through and turn everything off and unplug everything. I manage to get out of here around 7:30pm.. but it was a good way to start my weekend. Now we just hope everything goes smooth this weekend and we have power come Monday.
