Whew

Last week was pretty hectic. Aside from being really busy at work lately, I had also set a goal to have the grass in the backyard done in time for Randy & Jacquie’s 30th Anniversary party (which turned out really great, BTW), as well as putting together a slide show for the party, which I didn’t end up starting until about 10pm the night before. With that on Friday night and the party itself on Saturday, I ended up not getting a whole lot of sleep this weekend, and I foolishly didn’t really make up for it by going to bed early last night.

The grass rush turned out not to be a mixed success: it looked good, but it was still not really ready for people to walk on it since you have to water it so much in the first week. I heard that may be because I didn’t smash the dirt back down after I tilled it but before laying down the grass, but oh well, it will still be alright. I did get it all in and finished off the playground area on Friday afternoon; now we just need some more wood chips to add to it and we’ll be set.

Still no pictures of the grass yet, and I don’t know if I’ll take the time at this point. Everyone who’s interested who hasn’t seen it yet can check it out the next time they’re over.

    The yard looks great. It will have a chance to rest now. Maybe you can too. The video was great!
