A tribute to Grover

I think Grover is my favorite. He's a straight forward kind of guy who gets down to the business of things without messing around.

For instance, his lessons on "NEAR" and "FAR" quickly teach children the difference between the two perspectives. Looking out into my backyard today, I thought I'd channel a little Grover as I took some pictures. Keep in mind, the windstorm was Monday. Today is Saturday.

Ready?

Near...


FAR!

That was really fun! Let's do it again! Nearrrrrr....


FAR!


Now, how about we learn some colors. That sounds like fun too!

Orange...
Smokebush "Grace"... isn't that great fall color?

Red...
More of the Grace smokebush

 Green...

Grey!!!

I'd like to add "before" and "after" but the concrete has to set for 6 hours before the panels can be re-attached. Oh well. You all know what a finished fence looks like and if you don't, then can just do like Grover and use your imagination!
