Today was such a great day for me. I FINALLY got to mow the yard! I haven't mowed since being pregnant with Blake, and I used to be the sole mower in our household. I just love working outside in the yard. I can thank my Dad for teaching me to have an appreciation for a beautiful lawn and for reminding that it comes with A LOT of hard work and sweat! I guess I can also thank him for being a perfectionist when it comes to yard work and for being picky when others (i.e., Matt) pitch in to help or do it instead of me.
Today was also exciting because we have grass! And a lot of it! Matt rented an aerator several weeks ago and seeded and fertilized. We proceeded to water the lawn 2 hours each day and also got lucky with some nice soaking rains, and let the grass grow almost up to my knees. Even though I had to bag the grass and empty the bag EACH pass, it was so worth it to see our lawn began to become lush and beautiful! I also had time to plants flowers and herbs. So...I had to include a few photos. And I got the dog in a picture instead of the always photographed kiddos!
