Today was the day. We've been putting it off forever, thinking eventually we'd get a sunny Saturday that we could do some yard work. We finally came to our senses and realized that that just not gonna happen, so we broke out the gloves and got dirty! It drizzled off and on all day, but we just told the kids to put their hoods on.
I'm not sure if Kennedy is helping or playingThere was serious whining at first, but once the kids could see that they were working whether they whined or not, they gave in to it. Colton has decided to start a little lawn business. We told him he needed to practice on our yard first before he charged people to do theirs. He worked really hard, and thinks he up for the challenge.
See that big dirt hole? That's where we had raked a big pile of leaves, and then it snowed before we picked them up. It had 2 feet of snow on it for several weeks this past winter. Sadly the grass didn't make it. (This is where the bunny likes to sun himself.) After 5 hours of work it was done. It looks so much better. Of course I forgot to take a picture of the after!

Colton is SO HIRED!! He can mow my yard, AND, I'll pay him. Totally serious!
Glad your back. Your yard looks amazing and soooo green already. I guess that's what you get when you don't live in a desert.
Good for you for putting the kids to work. Your yard looks good. I just post pics of my yard--heinous.
Sure looks beautiful there! Like a chinese garden! Is that a water feature I see in the back? You don't see green grass like that where we live. Don't you just love it when the kids get involved with yard work? Always the whining, always the whining. . . but they're efforts sure paid off. Looks GREAT!
