Fixin' up the place....

As we have gotten into summer like weather, we've found that Olivia wants to spend almost all waking time either outside, or looking outside. So, to accomplish this, she will get up on a little stool in front of the picture window. She will look out and say "woof" to all the dogs that are being walked outside, or she will wave at all the cars that drive by. It's pretty fun to watch. We've also taken her outside to the back yard a handful of times. She is ok, but likes to run into the driveway, and then make a break for the street. She obviously far to young to know better or to teach that it's very dangerous, so I've come up with an alternative solution that I'm going to be working on this week. Fences. Today, I installed part of a fence in the back yard between our current wood fence and the garage. Step 1, checked off the list. I also installed the first of a chain link fence between the garage and the house. We'll see how this goes coming up, but I have a few more items to get first, before that will be fixed off. Anyhow, I'm looking for chain link in something shorter than 50 feet because I only need about 15 feet of chain link. So, if you have any lying around you need to part with, please let me know! All I'm trying to accomplish is fence in the back yard. Digging out each post by hand is for the birds, and an awful lot to ask to keep one little girl confined to the back yard. But if she's not confined, she will be finding trouble in someone else's yard for sure!
