Well, we officially have half a landscaped yard! About 13 days ago, we got a lovely "courtesy notice" from the city that stated that we were in violation of four city ordinances - something about trash in the yard, about weeds being too high, about not having (in the front and back yards) watered, mowed and fertilized grass, and then to ice the cake, a nuisance ordinance that they kick in if you have at least one other issue!
What a crock! We placated them by putting in half a yard. They were supposed to come by and check up on us Monday. I suppose they were satisfied since we haven't received a letter yet! That's good news.
The grass was supposed to come on Saturday morning. It finally showed up at 3:30 after we had spent the day outside doing other things in the 100+ heat (hottest day of the year of course) getting all sweaty and tired. Once the grass was finally all in place Scott turned on the sprinklers and laid right down in the middle of the lawn to get cool. I stood in the spray for a bit but I really didn't want to get soaked - though it looked very relaxing!
