Yard: Summer 2010



We finally did all we hoped most to do on our yard this summer, and we can now sit on the porch and enjoy our view and the beautiful green. The most discouraging part was the sprinkers: Ed thought he broke the pipe so we dug a trench five feet deep in the front yard

only to discover there was nothing wrong with it. Then one of the valves was broken and stuck on, but due to heavenly tender mercies, it was a quick fix requiring no extra funds. And now thanks to four days of steady thunderstorms we again have a lawn with grass you can walk barefoot on. There are still some bare spots and some other brown spots, but overall we don't cringe when we look at/walk on it.

So here are some photos, mostly just for those select one or two people who saw the yard at its wildest and can appreciate it's sparse, pruned beauty:
