Raking, Raking, and More Raking
Little Workers Clearing the Rocks
After filling the wheelbarrow with rocks, the little boys found it too heavy to carry, and so, enlisted the help of big brother to carry the load to the dump pile.
Feeling Rather Silly *grin*
The day I saw this little bit of grass popping through was such a joyful day!!! I had asked my sister if my grass would grow if I had not put lime on the lawn. She showed me her daughter's grass that she was growing in a paper cup. If *she* could grow grass in a cup, with just water, then my grass was *sure* to grow!!
Little Tiny Grass
It may not look like much to you, but to me, it was the most beautiful lawn!! As you can see our driveway needs another load of rock, because we widened it when we were building the edging.
This lawn has required the utmost care. I have been putting my sprinkler on at 6:00am and moving it every 30-60 minutes, all throughout the day, up til 11:00 pm at night. This has gone on for about 2-3 weeks!!! But I am determined to be victorious!!!!
We have this odd shaped lawn that makes watering a little challenging. I have to fit the sprinkler all around the different trees. Thankfully, this week I have had a rest because it rained!!! A little bit of rain over the whole lawn, on a regular basis. So now almost all the seed has sproated.
People said that the grass would not grow around the trees. But I planned to have a 'park like' setting with grass around the base of all the trees.
Lawn Looking Thicker
Lush Grass!!
Our Beautiful Yard!!

There are a number of finishing touches to do, such as more gravel, and weed killing. Other landscaping jobs, such as flowers, will be done next year. Our house and yard and all the touches have been such a blessing!!! We are so fortunate and thankful for what we have!!
