Backyard Success

Early this spring, we decided that we needed some more grass in the back yard. First I pulled up the big pieces of concrete




Then we purchased the appropriate tools, or at least ones that looked painful






While it's not perfect, it is looking much better!

Blood, Sweat, and Tears

After living in our new house for a little over a year, Andrew and I finally made a commitment. THE IVY HAS TO GO! At the beginning of April, we had a front yard full of English Ivy. It was everywhere!



So after 3 applications of every increasing concentration of Round-Up, the ivy is dead and gone.





More pictures to come once we get grass growing!
