The Caesar and Cleo Memorial Garden

Almost two weeks ago we said goodbye to our second basenji, Cleo. It was hard, but we had delayed it long enough. Cleo was a good girl. Here is a picture of her with Marsha and Bucky on her last day with us. Cleo was our first dog as newly weds.

I tend toward lazy on the MSS (Male Slothfulness Scale) as you can clearly see that Marsha is doing all the work. Here is a shot of where the garden is going. Marsha has planned a nice spot between these two Live Oaks in our front yard.


First thing to do is trim away the dead branches (many) and take away the low hanging branches. I call them hat dusters, Marsha calls them dangerous.


Next comes the border to define the space. Good thing we have demolished a concrete patio in the back and several defunct planting areas in the front yard. We should have plenty of stuff. Go Marsha.


Well, time to rest. Taking these pictures is hard. Marsha is waving to you. See you around.
