Oh, and the fence got finished too :)

These pics don't do it justice, I just ran out and snapped them real quick. The fence has already come in very handy at keeping the little monkey out of the street. We are going to paint the fence white (actually it's a white stain that's used since the lumber is treated pine). This can't happen until the wood has dried sufficiently. The fence guys recommended us wait a season before we paint. That would mean that we'd be able to do this in the fall and avoid an Arkansas August of painting fun.


Above is the completed front gate. Try to picture shrubs and flowers (that Cara will plant) in the areas on either side of the gate.


This is the gate on the driveway.


And this is the gate going to the back yard before the posts got cut to the appropriate length. It smells a lot better than the chain link gate that was there before :)
