-------------------It's a Miracle-----------------------

I know you won't believe this,

because I can hardly believe it myself-

ta da!

We have GRASS!!

Little baby grass in the front yard.

Ok, so right now, it looks more like the yard is

covered with moss

But, it won't be too long before we can mow it!

I am elated at the thoughts of mowing-

that's what 2 years of dirt will do for you.

It's so very exciting

and quite pretty :)

As you can see, the weeds are coming up with

the itty-bitty grass, but

Eddie tells me the "grass will

choke them out."

He should know, he's the pro.

We are finding out through this new grass phase

that our front yard must be the night highway

for all the local dogs and deer.

Every morning when we wake up

there are new footprints in the dirt.

Our dog Remy, must be awfully popular-

the trail leads right back to her dog run.

It's quite depressing to see the struggling

grass get violated like this.

The picture doesn't do justice to this trail-

there is a major thoroughfare in front of the little tree.

I did get fairies to try to scare the dogs away

or to just look darn cute in my flowers.

I think she does a great job on the cuteness part.

Fairy #2

See my feet behind her as I hung off the porch

trying to take this picture? :)

I'm sure that was quite a site in itself.

Now that we are getting grass,

maybe my grandkids can come and play.

It won't be as fun as all the dirt,

but it will be cleaner :)
