The picture on the left was taken on my birthday (9/16/2010), the day that our backyard was hydro-seeded. The picture on the right was taken yesterday (10/31/2010) Behold! A sea of green grass to frolic in!
A year ago I threatened my husband's life. Why would I do such a thing? What could possibly drive me to this level of hysteria?
The answer: my backyard.
Or should I say my bird refuge. My backyard was a refuge to pheasants, and ducks. It was a natural habitat for the birds, due to the tall weeds and mounds of dirt.
I tried to be patient. I tried not to nag, excessively. Believe me, I tried. But after 8 years of not having a backyard to host backyard barbecues, play groups, or even a safe refuge for my wandering 2 year old to frolic, I had enough. Therefore, I threatened bodily harm on my husband if I did not receive my backyard by the following summer.
It worked and for my birthday this year, he gifted me with the gift of grass. Glorious grass!
Next summer - barbecue at my house!

Oh what a wave a green beauty!! Congratulations on having a sea of grass behind your house.
ReplyDeleteI figured you were still having daily bouts with Conner, thus explaining the frequency of your blogging.
I am so jealous. Next summer will be 8 years for us so maybe next fall? I hope there's not snow when we come for Thanksgiving so we can see it in person(:
ReplyDeleteGo GREEN!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - your Birthday is Sept. 16th? Mine's the 10th! I knew we were kindreds.
ReplyDeleteSecond - YAY for grass! I feel your pain, sister. Not 8 years of it, but we didn't have grass for a year and we had a dog. You do the math.
Third - pics of homeboy melt my heart. Mostly because he is so adorable, and also because my 3 year-old is the EXACT SAME KID. He give me that same mischevious grin and leaves a trail of terror behind him everywhere he goes.
So happy for you and your yard...hope you host lots of Summer parties!
I'm inviting myself over for your BBQ next summer :)! Congrats on finally getting some grass, unfortunately we have to sometimes resort to nagging our husbands to get anything done, I know this from a lot of experience :)!
