week five

grass. ahh to have that wonderful lush green lawn! we've been living in this home for about a year and a half and have been working on de-cluttering our lives. this has been a process that has been going on for years.. and i don't know if it will ever end! i am hopeful that it will continue to get better as the months and years progress. we [meaning mostly me, as i am the one that seems to be a pack-rat.. thank you gran!] have already gotten rid of a TON of useless stuff. what does this have to do with grass you ask? it is simple... we moved into this duplex and the "lawn" was lumpy dirt with weeds, children's toys, dog bones and trash. add to that our boxes and stuff that doesn't fit in the house and you have a regular white-trash yard. ick! with a 2 year old it is difficult [to say the least] to get anything done [and stay done]. so projects are done in large spurts and we are so tired afterwards that the thought of facing the next 'spurt' is even more exhausting!

after a few times of de-weeding the yard throughout the past year and a half, we prepped the area with all organics and spread the seed. cameron did most of the heavy work with the 'assistance' of the 2 yr old. water 3x daily and we should see grass! our plan is to have a lush beautiful lawn by the 4th of july. lets see how that turns out!
