...almost to the day...since we moved into this house, we FINALLY got our yard-in...sort of. haha
Kevin finished the sprinkler system and we finished leveling and raking the yard AND picked up a TON of rocks;
just in time to get the hydro-seeding done.
For those who don't know what hydro-seeding is....here's Netty's version: Grass-seed is mixed with a liquid which contains the necessary mulch and fertilizer, then sprayed with a hose, over the prepared dirt. The mulch and liquid keep the seed from blowing away, and discourage birds from stealing the seed before it can sprout.
This is what the backyard looks like,
it's mostly done in this picture.

Front yard, east side...all done!
Front yard, west side...
In six to ten days, we should see the rye grass start to sprout. About 3 to 4 weeks later, the bluegrass should come up. We managed to get everything done JUST in time to get things sprouted and rooted before the first hard frost.
We owe thanks to SO many people!!! Our Ward members who have come and helped weed, rake, and pick up rocks. Our High Priest Group leader who dropped by to help whenever we needed him. Marc and Deb for purchasing the hydro-seeding and Gary Christiansen who actually did the hydro-seeding. Most of all, I thank Kevin for his hours and hours and hours of back-breaking, knee-straining, patience-eroding labor. Thanks, Kevy...you're my hero!
