The Third Sign of Spring

The third sign of Spring when you have animals, especially large dogs, is a muddy and torn up back yard. Sigh. With all of the rain it was inevitable that this would happen. Our neighbors also have dogs so that on either side of our fenced in yards they get going, with a lot of bouncing, barking and running like maniacs back and forth along the fence borders. So there are some cow (dog) paths newly formed . . . and then the crazed chipmunk gets them (the dogs, not the neighbors!) digging holes to China!

We have optimistically purchased some grass seed, filler dirt, and straw to see what we can do to repair the damage. But we wimped out today because it's still in the mid-thirties . . . maybe tomorrow?
