Well, we started at 9:30 am and finished after 2:00. The photos show only part of what we did....the other side of the lawn was done after....and we ran out of sod. *Sigh. I guess that means more in the weeks to come. But I am so thrilled at how it turned out! We haven't had grass in the backyard for over a year now. It has rained and rained and rained ever since we finished, which has been nice....our water bill won't be so high! We were going to water the lawn, but God did it for us. There is rain in the forecast for the next 7 days, so that will give the grass a chance to grow.
Wee-one went to her pool party, which ended up being a pool-patio-pool-house party since it rained on and off the entire time. After we picked her up we headed out for the Super Wal-Mart in Orange Park. Let me tell you, crossing the St. John's river over the huge Buckman Bridge was quite intimidating in the pouring rain. You could barely see the car lights in front of you. And there was some sort of sail boat thing going on....probably 30+ sailboats getting completely drenched. We made it home in time to take the oldest to her boyfriends house for his birthday party. I have been in the car for 2 hours straight~!
Well, I am sore and tired from my day of lifting, planting and chauffering about, so I will say goodnight. Have a good one!
*I have no idea what happened to picture #2....apparently all the rain shrank it! ;o)

I wish I got grass that fast. When I do finally get it to start growing we start another project that tears it up. But yours is beautiful with your forest as a backdrop.
Your yard looks beautiful!!! Have a great evening!
WOW! Awesome job on the grass! I don't understand the entire sod thing, but it's like instant gratification! No need to plant seeds, you just get instant grass. It's kindof like a Chia Pet huh?! LOL! It looks great though, all kidding aside!!
Hugs and love, Lisa
