Just a quick pond update and a little bird who used the statue for a little rest.

OK, I finally got a pond going. It looks kind of rough right now, but I've only had a day and a half to work on it. It was pretty sweet. Jennifer and I were out in the back Sunday morning, and I was trying to figure out a project for the weekend... We thought about building a pond again like we had in Houston. I told her that "I will build us a pond today"... I had seen earlier that one of our neighbors had an old molded pond in their yard unused so I went over and asked if they would give / sell it to me. It turned out that they were very nice and were willing to part with the pond pieces. A ton of digging and rearranging rocks later here we sit with the beginnings of a back yard oasis! The statue was given to us by my mom and dad. The whole thing wouldn't even look as ok as it does without it... Please consider this a "before" picture. The rabbit and the humming bird are the latest animals I have "rescued". The stories are too long to tell, but they deserve a spot on the blog I guess... Happy Memorial Day from Utah!! D

How Lucky am I??? This is a portrait of my beautiful wife and my second favorite dog at work together at Best Friends. Beautiful!!

We just had a great visit with Mom and Dad Andrews. They flew in to Vegas and drove up for about a week! These two are NON-STOP tourists! Every day they discovered places and things that us locals didn't even know about. We celebrated my birthday a little early and threw Mother's Day in there with it too. Dad found time to fix things in the house that were falling apart again making me look bad... The light in the fridge, the oven door, the wooden chairs for our antique table; etc. etc. Anywho, here are some pics from the whole thing...
