The Fruit of my Labor

Today I cleaned our little back yard :)

Even at 8:30am the sun was blaring, causing me to sweat, which is rare.

I not only cleared the dog messes, I picked up all of the little pieces of trash, swept the porch off and wiped down our dusty washer, dryer and glass table.

Magically, I found a rake! So I went ahead and did the best gravel redistribution job that I could. We ideally need more gravel back there (though it's only a rented house), but the times they are a-rough. It looks pretty good though!

Despite knowing that the dogs will have destroyed it again soon, I was happy and satisfied to do the job. Maybe if I maintain it some, that process will take longer.

They're good pups :)
