To do and was done.

I can't wait to do this. At the bottom of the front stairs, on either side of the railing are 2 beige planters. This is my project tomorrow! Before the Bears game of course.

And this is my crazy dog Mercedes! I put this here for 2 reasons. It's always sad when we put the cover on the pool, which happened today. It really symbolizes the end of summer, my favorite season of the year. Secondly I am not sure this beagle will make it to see another year. You see she is 8 years old, diabetic and blind. I can assure you that this nut, walked up onto the deck and got her way onto the teeny tiny ledge of the pool and started walking around it. My husband yelled from the dining room for me to look out the window. I grabbed the camera while screaming out the bathroom window for her not to move. Meanwhile hubby is running frantically for his shoes so he can go get her down. This pic was taken in better days before her illness. Reminds me of the funny little buger she was.
