At One With the Mosquitos

Tuesday night we had dinner with our friends Jason and Rachael at O'Brien Park. We roasted hotdogs but I think the mosquitos had more of a feast than we did. Good thing Rachael wasn't too shy to ask some total strangers for bug spray.

Half A Decade!

Five years ago to the day, Dave and I were married in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Happy anniversary sweetie! These past years have been great and I look forward to many more.

Oh, and thanks for putting up with my goofiness (evidenced by this wedding photo).

Nothing Like a Little Premature Sod Laying

If you have read our last post you may have been under the impression that we were laying our sod on Saturday. That's what we thought too, until we received a call Wednesday night saying that our sod was coming the next day.

So last night we leveled out our dirt and the grass was put in place. The only minor hiccup was the thunder storm that started for the last half hour. Fortunately the boys had most of the sod down already before the rain began to pour. The only consequence was a lot of mud EVERYWHERE, but boy does the grass look great, and we certainly didn't have to worry about watering right away.

Thanks to all the guys who helped!

Slaves of The Soil

So here are a few pictures of what's been occupying our free time lately. So far we've accomplished the gravel under the deck, pulling all the weeds in the dirt pile we call a back yard (again), and yesterday Dave rotter tilled all that weed-free soil. All that's left is to level out that dirt before our sod arrives on Saturday and then after 3 springs we should finally have a beautiful, clean lawn! Hurray!!
