Yard Work ~ An SOS to HGTV

Well, the new steps are done being installed.  

Supervisory crew

As you can see, the ground is all torn up.  Our lawn guy, Cody, says to put down straw after I figure out where the bed is going to be.  The grass will grow back under the straw.  I am going to put cedar mulch in the bed with some ornamental grasses and perennials.  

Of course we are going back into our sweltering part of the summer, but it will feel good to get it done and hopefully it will look good.

HGTV has really ruined us.  Like CSI has ruined crime solving.  It takes much longer than an hour to make the finished product look beautiful.   Oh well.  Times awasting.

Love, Leslie
