It's a Lawn!

The last couple weeks have been very busy! It is hard being split between the two houses, and I inevitably find that the one thing I really need is at the other location!

Mattresses for the 2 guest bedrooms were delivered last Wednesday, and I spent Thursday getting a lot of cleaning and odds and ends done.  Ten pallets of sod were delivered late Thursday afternoon, and the last pallet (for a total of 11 pallets) was delivered early Friday morning along with about 900 lbs of rock. Our first work crew...I mean, house guests arrived early Friday afternoon and were put straight to work!

Just for the record, laying sod is not fun - especially in 90+ degree heat! Terry's sister and brother and their respective spouses, along with Nick and Matt, were all troopers and hard workers! We knocked out a good portion on Friday and the rest on Saturday morning. It looks great! The biggest challenge will be to keep it alive since we are 16 inches below average for rainfall and are currently at the highest drought level designation that they have.

Where you see green inside the fence (and some of it on the outside too!) is all  part of the "sodbusters" handiwork...

...and here...

 ...and along the side of the house...

...and looking toward the road.

A boat ride to enjoy the sunset was relaxing and very enjoyable after a day of hard work!

There is another project waiting...looks like fun, doesn't it?
