The Lawn



So, I have told you that we are working on our yard and now we can see the end. When we first moved to the house the lawn had lots of sand spurs and vines and weeds as well as not beng very even ground. I knew that in order to be able to use the yard this sumer we needed to do a complete overhaul so that is what we did. We dug up the whole lawn by hand with rakes and hoes starting over a month ago. We finally finished two weeks ago. Then we retilled the land and spread out grass seed. At first not much was happening but then we had an overcast day wth lots of rain and the next day there was green poking up out of the dirt. Everyday it has gotten fuller and more green. There are stilla few patches but it is mostly filled in now. We planted some flowers in the flower bed (good place for them) and are looking for a new rose bush to take the place of one that did not make it and a Magnolia tree to fill out the look. We are still trying not to walk on it too much until it is really established a week or so more. Soon we ill have a great lawn to run and play and have a good time on.
