baby grasses

Where John ripped out the cement pad and where the big Maple use to live was planted with grass seed early June.

John was able to mow the new baby grasses in the corner yesterday, it came in very lush and green.

The grass in the Maple tree area isn't coming in as well, probably because it's not getting enough water.
I'm scared to see my water bill for the month of July.

The backyard will hopefully getting a new vinyl fence to replace the short, 4 foot fence (who installs a 4 foot fence in the backyard?!?) with the selling puppy money. Winston will be able to walk over the fence in a few short months if we don't replace it, but if we don't sell the puppy then I'm not sure how we'll afford a new fence...

Very old picture, but shows the short fence that gives us no privacy. Whenever we're out and the neighbors are out (they're smokers so they're always out) they want to talk and then have us come over to show us their man eating sized koi fish. It gets old fast so I can't wait for the fence. We told them it was the big dog that meant bigger fence, but that was only part of the reason.

The fence though will be the last thing added to the backyard this year.

P.S. that bush on the side of the house is not there anymore. A couple weeks ago we got central air (pure heaven) installed and the bush had to come out so they could put the unit there. The bush had pretty much died over winter anyway, but removing it in 90 degree weather totally sucked.
