The unpacking has completed (which I suppose means I should post a few pictures, but those are coming in a later post - stay tuned!) and now we are looking to the outside of the house. This past week, we've had a lot of heavy machinery in our yard to move rocks, power rake, and grade. The good news is that our unsightly silt fence has been removed... the bad news is that we have been slaving away to plant grass and cover it with straw to keep our new yard from eroding away in the rain.
So far, the front yard has been completed by the crew and Aaron and I managed to plant grass and wildflowers on Thursday night before the rains came. It rained much of Friday, which means the yard is too wet today for more machinery. The crew will be back tomorrow to work on the back yard, which means that we will be sowing seeds and throwing straw on Sunday and Monday. I am actually enjoying the straw in the yard because even that is more attractive than the mud moat we've had all spring!
