the grass is greener....

... so we have been busy, busy, doing yard work around here, this yard of ours is pretty big, and we have, over the years, slowly been replacing flower beds with grass... Our neighbor planted some trees, so he had some sod that needed a home, and offered it to us, so we took it. I told Brad what we were doing with it, he was all for it so we started digging up this flower bed, I think when we moved in to this house, there was like 8 or 9 decent size flower beds... which is too much for me, I can't keep up with them all, last year we tore out a fence and filled in two huge "beds", I do love the spring when we are in the mood to do these projects and working in the yard is fun... so far it looks great... this is what it looked like before we started... and we are now down to 4 flower beds... not too bad, and this was a pain in the ars to dig up, roots from you know where, that flower bed lining stuff, & bulbs galore... I wonder how many things will pop up next year thru the grass, it was impossible to get them all...... mid project...
... end result... yay!!! I'm so excited to have it done, well at least this small part of it... as you can see we have a worn out walkway thru the grass on the other side... that we are trying to decide what to do with, I want to put in a cute rock or stone walk way but Brad wants to fill it in with grass... I think it will just keep getting worn out ... so we'll see what happens, either way really but I'm sure that will be our next yard project...
we ran out of our neighbors grass and had to get a few pieces of sod... so hopefully it all grows together ok... I have also been working on our back patio and it is sooo cute, I will post pictures of it later, I love my back patio, it is almost done....
fun spring stuff :)
