I love sod.




And this is what it looks like now! AMAZING!! A couple days of incredibly hard work, some great assistance from Paul's dad and Con and we now have grass. Next up - putting the fence back up and hopefully letting Scout run free. We did not purposely match our pond water with the grass - we're working on changing that:).
The scoop: we were praying that we would be able to paint the purple palace this fall, but that is not looking very promising as we have had non-stop wet and rain for the past few weeks.
Maybe we will have an unusually warm November - you know 60 degrees or so?!
I guess the question is - can we put Christmas lights on a purple house that has caulk in every nail hole? Definitely something to think about:).

The backyard.




This is what our backyard has looked like for the last several months - no grass, mud, and the fence down between our yard and Con and Erin's. And yes, poor Scout is still in the "dog pound." And then there was this great invention...
