Last night I walked out to our backyard filled with dirt and a few sprouts of grass and looked around. There are a few spots along the house where grass has come up but the majority of the yard just had the seed laying ontop of the dirt. I thought to myself–this isnt going to grow grass just sitting here. So I went into the garage and got the backhoe (sp?) that my dad let me borrow and “tilled” the entire backyard to mix the seed in real good. With Jonathan’s help of course–he came out about 1/2 way through and finished it up for me. Once the dirt was all mixed up and evened out we ran up to Lowes and got some more seed and a fertilizer spreader to spread it out evenly. We put the seed out and then watered it real good. Hopefully in a few short months we’ll have somewhat of a grassy backyard! Now we just have to pay for the ginormous water bill we are about to have….Can I steal the water from the neighbor again??? No one lives there, so it’s not like I’m really stealing water, is it? Haha Now I have a blister on my thumb from last night, but it will be all worth it when my dog can go run outside and tear up the grass we so carefully planted and grew! now we just have to put fill dirt to raise the level of the ground up to the fence and put a board along the bottom of the fence and we’re good to go…I have to make sure my doggy can’t escape from the yard. She is a houdini! More to come later from the adventures of owning a home with Jonathan and Laurie.
I LOVE YOU!
