Landscaper's Dream

Weekend before last the in-laws came down to help with the house. On the agenda was cleaning the basement and seeding the rest of the back-yard. We decided to seed instead of sod because we ran out of money and seeding is much less labour-intensive, freeing up our time to get other things done. Like finishing the last sets of curtains and cleaning the basement (which has been a huge boost in out attempt at decluttering). I feel like we are no longer living above a seething mess, and thanks to my mother-in-law, we now have a sizeable place to finish other carpentry projects (like the mantel piece for the fireplace, the design for which we have completed this past weekend). So the Saturday I seeded it was beautiful weather. My father-in-law warned me that by the next day, there would probably be dozens of birds at the all-you-can-eat grass seed buffet.

Beg to differ:




Ah, a beautiful August Sunday afternoon in the Maritimes. Awesome.
