We Now Have Grass

The day we got our sod was crazy. I woke up sick, it had rained all night, and the wind was intense. Lucky for us not too long after we got started laying the sod, a lot of people came to help us get the job down.

Before


after (can you tell it was a little bit stormy?)

Other than the fear that at any moment a large object would come hurling down the street at me we also got to enjoy the challenge of trying to lay sod on mud that was more like soup that ground. It was so awesome.

Now we just need to finish the back, build up the flower beds, get trees, bushes, and flower and get all the weeds out from the over side of the drive way.
