a little privacy please

Here is a photo of the special place we installed for the dogs.  First we removed the burnt-out grass, then dug down about 8 inches, laid down a bag of charcoal, covered that with gravel, then river rock.  Voila, instant bathroom for dog; training them to use it only took a day.  Now they know where "to go" and the grass stays safe.

here is a photo of the pretty little bench my neighbor , artist friend, and co-veggie garden partner, installed in our joint veggie garden.  It is a little private place where we can sit and enjoy watching the unfolding show that is our garden.
