Oh for the love of Pete!  (I don’t know who Pete is btw).  I have grass in my backyard!  OH my goodness I’m excited.  Really really excited.

Strange eh?  A blog entry about grass.  Well, lemme tell you…

I purchased the house in 2002.  The prior owners took perfect care of the house… I didn’t do so bad either.  Until, Daniel and I got the puppy.  Well, our puppy destroyed the grass by a) peeing (hey, it happens!) and b) chewing through the wires of the sprinkler system.  So, the area that had grass became our area for dirt.  ::sigh::

Here’s 2002 when I first moved in:

Here’s 2005 right after we got the puppy:

Here’s 2006 when the very last of the lawn was going:

Now, it looks better than the first one.  ’cause it’s new!  yeah!  I’ll take a pic tomorrow when there is sun.  We are making a doggy area on the side for the now *horse* size dog.  Okay, small horse… pony really. 

Not only do I have my lawn back thanks to the hubby (you are THE bestest!) but last night after I watered I noticed a frog looking up at me from the grass.  Oh my gosh I haven’t had frogs in the backyard since the destruction of the grass.  Oh yes… the frogs are back and I’m a happy gal.
