The Beginnings of a Lawn

I wanted to bring you all an update on our landscaping project…the quest to get grass. Seems like such a simple thing, right? But it’s been a long time coming as the journey was filled with weather set backs and problems getting contractors set up to complete the grading process….

Landscaping Progress, Day 3

So Wednesday ushered in day three of our quest to have grass. Unlike the other days, the crew showed up in the morning and stayed all day long to basically finish up the job. First up was grading the land with the bobcat while one of the workers tilled and…

Day 149 and Beyond…

How can I describe the last week?  Incredible….exhausting….thrilling…stressful…frustrating…surreal…and everything in between.  I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to keep up with the blog during this last crucial week, the pace at which our lives were going did not allow for much of a break and I was lucky to…
