Grass Progress and a Few Other Yard Happenings

The front yard is slowly shaping up, but oh, it has been so much more work than we had planned.  After re-doing all the sprinklers and getting rid of downed trees, the ground finally dried out enough to seed the lawn.

Leveling the ground before seeding.

One week after seeding (around Easter) baby grass is starting to come up.

Nathaniel is moving extra dirt off the slope while Chris fixes yet another sprinkler-line break.

The first mowing - Mid May.

May 20th-ish.  Grass filling in, stump near driveway needs to be ground up (by city) and landscaping needs to be done where eucalyptus tree used to be.

May 27-  city removed stump and planted an Aristocrat Pear tree (ornamental).  They will come back and plant another one after we get the landscaping done on the corner (gratis!)

A pair of ducks were swimming in the spa and checking out the yard to see if they liked it (they didn't).

Rabbit came in the yard to see if it liked it there. 



I didn't want it to like the yard so I chased it out.  We need a better gate before we plant the vegetable garden.
