September 11-12, 2010

We are having a housewarming party in a few weeks, so a lot of our time was spent planning our menu, buying supplies, and prioritizing our household to-do list before the 24th. But of course, a decent amount of yardwork is a part of that list. Will it ever end?

First things first, we finished two of our ongoing projects: putting the wooden fence back in place and filling out "firepit." The fence was a lot easier task than Mike and I had imagined; in fact, it was even easier than taking the fence apart and took a little under an hour to complete.

The fence on it's way back up and me tearing ugly wire off the stairs.

We shoveled out the rest of the dirt from the front flower beds out into the firepit and leveled it - we will be putting down some seed during the week when we are expecting rain.  It is so weird/wonderful to not see an ugly gaping hole in the middle of our yard now!

Tada! Newly-filled hole with the firepit from our neighbors.

That's it for this week! Fingers crossed that we'll have new grass photos in a couple of weeks!
