Tom the Gardening Wonder Boy / Rob's new word

Tom loves to garden. He couldn't wait for springtime so he could get outside in the backyard, and this past weekend proved it.
TOM'S GARDENING: After stopping at a nursery where Tom bought 12 shrubs, and about 24 lower ground plants,  I (Rob) went grocery shopping and Tom went planting in the backyard!
  Here are some of the pics of his work, although the photos don't do his work justice. We have a great backyard thanks to his efforts and planning.

Is Dolly going to help daddy Rob demonstrate his new word?

ROB'S WORD: 
   My contribution to the backyard is "Pooperation."
  Here's the definition: Pooperation: : The convenience of picking up after your dog when there's a trash barrel around (fortunately we have one near the backyard).
  It DID get sunny enough one day this weekend to make our "Solar powered fountain" work for a day, but clouds moved in Sunday, Monday...etc....
