The Joy of Spring




Isn't this the prettiest backyard you ever did see? I know, I know. We let it go to pot last year because, well first off the grass was already really crappy when we bought it, and add to that our two little beagles, and our getting married and all. We just didn't have time, and we didn't want to fix it all up just to have the dogs tear it all apart. So, we are undertaking a HUGE project this year, that is...Landscaping the yard. Little did I know we were apparently starting it today. Here is how my morning has gone thus far... I awoke today to find Brian biting at the bit asking me how we're going to landscape our backyard. HELLO...I just woke up, what is he talking about. I slowly came to my senses and told him that I still needed to consult with the ever fabulous most talented sister in the world (shout out to Leah). He told me that he wanted to start TODAY and that he needed something to do. WHAT?!? I told him that if he would have prepared me for starting our Spring (Summer, Fall, Winter and next Spring) project today, I would have been slightly more prepared. So, I told him to go get me a piece of paper so I could roughly map out our backyard and try to start coming up with something for him to do. He handed me a piece of paper, then told me that he better draw it and up he went to find his ruler. He got back and proceeded to draw (it was WAY off scale) I told him that we probably needed graph paper and to measure the yard, at this comment he gave me a look only Brian can give and handed me the paper and told me that I should draw it then. Needless to say I told him to go out and do whatever he wanted if he really wanted something to do. Well, I think I hear a chainsaw now, so I'll post later.
