Planting Grass

Before heading to China, Jay and the children, and the help from a friend (Thanks Ron!) worked hard at getting our yard ready to plant grass. It was "supposed" be done before heading to China. But we were in such a rush to go (only 5 days to make travel arrangements and pack, etc) and Jay ran into sprinkler issues so it was not completed.

But this last weekend we got some discounted sod and they put it in all in one day. I am so happy to have grass again. I could do a happy dance.

Finished product...Now onto the big water bill for the month of July. See our two little baby tress back by the fence. We planted those last summer and the one of the right is dead. I don't have it in this  photo but the next day we were able to replace it with a new from the nursery who gives you a year warranty. So we have two cute little plum trees growing there too. Next project is the fix the broken play house to the right and the swing set.
