Another busy wekend

Tawny acting the fool.
When Tawny thinks we are not paying sufficent attention to her, she finds a stick (or log) and rolls on her back, writhing around, playing with the stick with her paws and mouth, often getting tangled up in the leash, and with her tail wagging furiously all the while. The funny thing is that she will occasionally look at us out of the corner of her eye to make sure the attention getting action is continuing to be effective! She is very amusing!
The lawn freshly cut.
Today I cut the entire lawn for the first time, including the part that was seeded. It looks far better now, and you can't even tell that the seeded part looked like it was mostly weeds before. I also trimmed the trees to eliminate some of the low-hanging branches that looked a bit scruffy. Looks pretty good now!
Fireplace is now going.
Since it was a busy weekend, I also spent some time getting the fireplace going. The key thing was looking at the control for the Off-Pilot-On dial. Charles had shown me how to light it and I realized today that presumed that the indicator for the dial was at the 12-o'clock position. In reality, the indicator was at the 9-o'clock position. Once I got this sorted, then the fireplace started in a couple of minutes.
