What a busy day Friday turned out to be!

Between grocery shopping, finishing up some laundry, and a few other chores, BJ and I found both the time and the desire to clean up the yard a little bit. There was some shrub pruning, 600 pounds of top soil to add to the garden, tomato and pepper plants to stick into that dirt, weed whacking, and yes, mowing. For the third time already!

The thing is, though, that I remember last summer having a lot of that stupid ground ivy, clover, crab grass, and weeds. Not much else was growing out there that even remotely resembled rye or fescue. So when we weren’t looking, I think somebody sneaked inside the fence, seeded, and fertilized. A lot.  It’s as if the lawn has been taking bodybuilding supplements or something!

The yard looks really nice, but it grows so fast, and it’s heavy. Weird, huh?
