Ice Wanderer agree about the police taking a report on the dog bite my sister has talked to neighbors about the incident so they know to be cautious when walking in that location . Her neighbor across street has an adult daughter who is a pet sitter/dog walker so they were very thankful for the information. going by what the dog owner told my siter the electric fence was on at time of the bite.  sister said the dog was barking moved towards her stopped a couple of times . It was when she turned her attention away from the dog and decide to keep walking that it came after her. may you see some dry weather so you can stain the dock you pressure washed. Heading into a bust time period for your neighbor, his BIL and you as homeowners assoc. members want certain things done before Memorial Day weekend.

Good morning ER’s. Happy Mother’s Day.  Farmers market shopping was good, picked up some tomato starter plants and some home canned pickles, got there just before the vendor’s packed up to leave at noon.  Then went to Linda’s sisters place to cut up a fallen tree, that turns out to be a cedar tree, and a lot bigger than I thought it would be, guessing the height to be about 50 when it was standing. And might know got my saw bar stuck.  Chain was still moving, but didn’t have a wedge with, to get it out of the bind. Will be going back today armed with a wedge and my bigger saw to try and finish up.

Hope everyone enjoys your day
