Beautiful New Yard

I am really excited. I don't have a digital camera or I would leave a photo here. I now have a beautiful green yard. I won't even have to worry about watering it. The timer is set and it just goes! It cost a lot but I guess it was really worth it. The cement driveway was worth it too. Wish me luck on not killing the lawn. I certainly cannot afford this again.

New Driveway and New Lawn

Well, I guess I am going to have to break down do it: my yard that is. I am getting a cement driveway in the back by the shop. It will be a T-Shaped driveway that comes in from the road on the north and goes both South and North and East. I can either drive East to the shop or drive West toward the house. The main driveway will start on the north where the gate is. Cement is really expensive!!

Then in Oct. I am getting a new sprinkling system with a timer and new top soil and sod on my front and side lawn. It's expensive but not as much as the cement. I hate spending money but I can't stand my yard any longer. With all this money I am putting into it, I expect the kids not sell it or have it torn down. That will be a big wast of money. Next year I will get either sod or hydro-seed on the back lawn around the cement and some gravel in places the cement and sod doesn't cover.
