Yard Update

We are in the process of 'tilling' our front yard and then the right side of our backyard. Pretty exciting stuff for us! Dave tilled almost half of the yard in an hour while Caleb napped. We are pretty good at managing our 'non-caleb' time these days. I weeded. He tilled. And we both gushed over how efficient the tiller was and the fact that one day soon we'll have a front yard with real grass! (Just to compare. We dug out the grass in our backyard with a shovel, left side, and it took months. If we had the tiller it would have been done within a day or two. And when I say we, I actually mean both of us. Dave would come home from work and do some digging, and while Caleb took his morning nap, I would put on my 'working boots' and shovel away outside. Yeah, I'm kind of proud of myself for that.)

This picture is of our whole front yard. Just to give you a starting point.
Then, just look at that gorgeous soil. ( I never dreamed I would one day be saying how gorgeous soil can look) It is perfect for growing crops, or, grass.
I had to take a few pictures of my weeding job.

Although you can't see it, there's a flower in bloom in this picture. Pink and pretty and it makes my smile every time I look out the kitchen window and see it. Hm, I'll have to take a picture of it.

I may have gotten a little carried away with the pictures.

Don't let the weeds fool you. As green and 'grassy' as it may look, the entire front yard is pretty full of weeds. Good bye weeds, hello green grass.
