Neglected Lawn
Our poor yard. Ever since that big, ugly purple monster moved in, the whole plat has gone to heck. First there was the dead grass killed by the dumpster and the storage pod. Then there was the havoc that was wreaked by the driveway installation. Now there is plain old neglect to deal with.
In a fit of inspiration, we bought a cordless electric mower (Homelite -- Home Depot was having a sale). It did most of our thick, moist, weedy lawn and needed to be recharged overnight to finish up the last patch. We gave it a thumbs up.
In a fit of desperation, we began to build a fence for the front yard. We live on a very busy street and we have two highly energetic boys as well as a spastic puppy and curious kitty.
Then we were deluged with door orders. The lawn is starting to look a little like it did a few weeks ago in the above photo once again. I'm thinking we take all of the damaged goods we've been stockpiling in our guest bedroom and pile them in the front yard, creating both an effective barrier as well as a no-holds-barred advertising campaign all in one. What are your thoughts? ;-)
