While most people who get time off for national holidays take some time off and rest and relax or go to the beach or visit friends etc I stay home and work on my house.
After months and months of settling and compacting, the trench that is my front yard had finally gotten to the point that there was at least some chance of turning the great big pile of dirt back into a lawn.
Naturally I waited until the hottest part of the afternoon to go outside and do physically demanding labor in the hot sun to finish leveling out the front yard and raking it smooth.
Pictures of the progress so far are here. More to come as we check on the progress of the grass growing.
I did also get a some time to do somehting other than working on the house and headed down to DC for fireworks on the mall.
That's right folks the next few posts are likely to be as exciting as watching grass grow. Stay Tuned!
Update 7/9: Grass is growing!
