March 2009 – Concrete Sea

Pics of the smooth earth on Saturday. I’m happy to report that we found no dead bodies. Saturday we’ll be putting down our fish fertilizer. Sunday we’ll be putting down our grass seed. Time, water, and sun will give us a lawn. Never has anyone worked so long and hard for grass. I’m beat – can you tell? Time for a beer.
