grass update! in just a few short weeks.... we have a lawn!!! granted, it's patchy and we shouldn't walk on it much but we have a lawn!! it was so frustrating at first.. watering 3x a day.. watching.. waiting... praying... hoping..... pleading..... one day there was no sign of life.... the next day looked like we had a green mold/growth. at first i thought it was a fungus and thought, "oh great! now we have to scrape it all off and start over again!" on closer inspection.. IT WAS GRASS!!!!

so now our dust bowl is turning into a beautiful lawn. [too bad this isn't our place but we're making it beautiful anyway !]

a few more weeks and we'll have a full lawn! now if only we could get the perimeter weeded and wood chips down.. looks like another weekend job!

week seven

i was on a girlfriend trip this weekend and shot a few cool shots while we took a 'detour'. actually, we got lost and had to find a different way to get to our destination. it ended up being a very very long drive, but the scenery was beautiful! these back country roads are what i was meant to drive!

week six

since acquiring a new camera.. thank you honey!! ..... i have been photographing any and everything i possibly can. photography is one of my passions [even though i am not very good or experienced with it]. one of may favorite things to photograph is plants. i love to grow them and preserve the feelings they invoke on 'film'. i can smell and feel each flower as i look at the pictures, remembering what was going on when i took them. they are a sense of calm and relaxation for me. nothing beats sitting in a garden, relaxing.
