Instant grass

Holy crap we have a lawn. We put in sod this weekend. Yup. It was a pain in the rear, almost lost Valerie to heat stroke, but she pulled through. It was only 98 degrees, come on. It looks bad, nice and yellow for the moment, but it will rebound nicely into a lush green lawn. That is what happens to sod in Georgia in August. It only sat on the pallet for about 10 hours and it cooked it. I am glad it is done. Having a lawn is a major landmark in this yards progress...I'll have pictures of a green version of the turf in a week or two........It has been hot. And it has been dry, again. We have officially entered the dog days of summer. Thats alright, only a month and a half to go until those cool fronts start moving in. I am ready to have a fire on a cool night. I love summer, but time for a season change......Cathrine and Anna are well, they both start school in a couple of days. Cat will start Pre-k and Anna will be starting kindergarten. Oh boy. It's hard to believe. They will have a blast......Speaking of school I am ready for some more furthered education, and I will definitely be enrolling in the fall quarter. Two quarters off, man what a slack-ass.:)

Still nothing

I don't have much to write about. There has been lots going on, but nothing I care to elaborate about. We have been taking it easy, Doing as little as possible. Work is the same, the summer grind. It is summer, I am waiting for fall. Valerie's B-day was Friday, damn she is old:> Wish I had something exciting, but I don't. Yeah, thats about it. yea-haw!

Pressure, pressure

I don't have anything this week. I just want this year over, maybe next year will be better. I do have some pretty funny pictures.

What's this wet stuff?

It has been doing something that it hasn't done in a while. It rained. In fact it rained again today. I never guessed I would be excited about it raining. After planting all of the plants however, it is much needed rain. I have almost completed the first four zones of my irrigation system, so that has helped out. I installed one zone of drip line that I like a lot. Little wasted water, and it puts it right at the roots of the plants. Other than that work has all but stopped on the yard.....We took Cathrine over to the pool today and let her swim. She is a natural. She swims like a fish. I am glad for that.......We have Wednesday off for the fourth, we are looking forward to that. It is kind of weird to have a day off in the middle of the week, but I'll take it. I think I hear thunder, I had better investigate. Finally, back to the Georgia we know.
