New grass and fresh paint!



Wow. It's been a long time since we've posted. Sorry. The house has been painted and the grass has been planted.

We've definitely slowed down a bit when it comes to projects, so we're just enjoying our progress.

We're a little worried about the new grass and the time it has to fill in. We planted mid-September, but it's very thin and spindly. Luckily the rain is pouring almost everyday. We opted for the Pacific Northwest blend, rather than the playground mix because the PNW blend actually had more of the seed that I researched was hearty and tough. So I'm thinking that it could be the best of both worlds. Who knows.

We did run into a problem last weekend. We threw the extra dirt on the "parking strip" out front and then planted new seed. It's been slow growing because we didn't really work on growing it. Anyway, everyone knows we've been planting grass, so I wasn't really too worried about roping it off. I'm sitting on the couch Saturday morning and I see the neighbor lady drive through it! She saw me spreading peat moss all over it one morning. What the....?
