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!
Meanwhile...
