Busy Bees!

Well, Jeff and I were busy little worker bees this past Saturday. We spent the entire morning leveling a large portion of the backyard in preparation of laying some sod down. When we bought the house we didn't have the whole backyard sodded. Since we have had Chloe, storms, and water run-off from our neighbors; we figured it was time to patch up the mud pit!

I'm sure Chloe wasn't happy with us because I believe she truly enjoyed digging in the dirt, and running through it when it was a muddy mess, despite mommy's pleas of "STAY OUT OF THE MUD!!" She had many a baths in the sink and bathtub as punishment... :o)

So, after hours of hardwork and sweat...we have a nicely sodded backyard and a beautiful new tree! I did find something I absolutely detest about Texas on this day, however...CLAY~ We had to dig a 2X2 hole about a foot and a half deep to plant that puppy!
P.S. Thanks to the in-laws for the tree!

Yeah for trees, too bad they are so expensive! OR I would buy 50!

The yard looks nice. Can't wait to see the house now that there's furniture and stuff in it.

Okay, we HATE, repeat, HATE Texas clay! David put in our sprinkling system all by his lonesome and the clay was the bane of his life.

Love new sod.

Love a finished backyard.

You're going to love your tree.

Eventually. :)

Good job on the yard! It looks great.
Sorry that you were so sick. Glad you had a little nursemaid. :D
