So, based on the wisdom of the Great Sage Papito, I'm going for the Redwood.
tada! Decision made!
It's pouring with rain in LA currently, so can't do much of anything though but, as soon as it clears up, we're pouring concrete, sinking posts, then - once that's hardened, we'll build the fence and gates!
I'll post a pic once it's all done.

Ooh....Chunky Monkey for me!!!! Has anyone ever heard of the Scooperbowl?? It's held every June in Boston as a fund raiser for the Jimmy Fund. For less than $10, you get all the ice cream you want for the entire day!! Companies like Breyers, Haagendaz, and Ben and Jerry's supply the ice cream and this year AT&T is supplying toppings!! Stephen and I are going up for it this year as part of our summer vacation. What can be better than ice cream and raising money to help kids!?

Things are moving VERY slowly (The New England work ethic just doesn't exist out here!) This is where we were a couple of days ago. Hoping the weekend brings more action! I've got a new job, so go off to work at 6AM, and don't get home til 8PM, no chance to play "foreman"!

A little of both: we have a friend who is a handyman. We hired out for the cement guys, and then we and the handyman went shopping for the wood, planted the posts, I designed the fence and gates, and he is now building them in his shop.
More pictures as things develop!

So we recently got this far, and I was sorely tempted to stop right here. There's something quite attractive about this...

Very nice Nicholas!!!

Correct! Bougainvillea (sp?). To the left is a succulent in the white pot. The garden is looking fantastic right now and, while this fence was indeed built to keep the dog(s) in, I almost dread their arrival, given how they will no doubt dig and tear up my tranquil garden sanctuary...! We're aiming for June or July canine additions to the family. Will advise as and when it happens in the Banter Hall. Guess now that this fence is done, so is this post. See y'all on the other side! N
