Two more weeks...

I love my yard. I spend at least as much, (if not more) time on it than I do on the inside of the home. I love everything being lush and trimmed. I love to reap the rewards of the veggies in the garden and feel totally self-sufficient when I open one of the cans of food I've done myself. I have one problem with my yard however. I can only do so much. Well, I've been overwhelmed lately with Mat working a ton of hours and trying to get through the summer and all. The yard needless to say has suffered. Suffered from not only my neglect but from Mat's as well. He works really hard on building beautiful additions to the yard and planting our awesome garden he has a hard time with finishing up the project or ignoring problems before it's too late. He's promised that in two weeks our lawn will be lush and green again and he will have more time around the house. Of course that was a week ago and the only work on it has been done by me. I guess whatever works huh? I spent the good part of Saturday, watering, mowing, and trimming and made some progress. Yea! I mostly wanted to post this so that I can look back in a few years and see how much the yard will have changed. (Hopefully by then I'll have the mister system that I got for my birthday over a year ago in place and the broken hammock will be fixed.) :)Peyton helping me water the lawn. :)
My Mother's Day present a few years ago. One of my favorite places ever.
Those poor little dry spots. :(
From far away it doesn't look too bad eh?

The more "productive" of the two gardens. I love that we can grow corn!
