Green is good, isn't it?

...and I thought these were going to be beautiful flowers!

Yesterday I sent Tae some pictures of the greenery, now that we've had a few downpours and T-storms. He didn't really care for this one. It's a picture of the work we started before he was called back.

We had hauled in topsoil and traffic bond, with the intent of getting our backyard in order after all the remodeling. We raked the topsoil, he built a small retaining wall, and we spread the traffic bond so we could start on the patio.

I noticed some little green things popping out of the topsoil about a week after he left. Oooh! Maybe it's grass! By week 3, it looked like someone snuck in here during the night and added Miracle Grow to them. I think it's pretty! It's the only part of our lawn that is NOT brown these days.

His response this morning was : "PULL THOSE WEEDS. Then get some grass seed and rake it in! That's so embarassing! I think I'll stay here with the rocks and big bugs for now."

I think he forgets that I don't do weeding. That's his job. But I realize that as a good wife, I've had to take up a lot of the slack here on his behalf. (like baking 2 desserts so far for summer parties - I don't bake, either). So it looks like I have my work cut out for me in the next few days, prior to his return. Geez, I miss him!

P.S. Sorry, Nanook, I haven't even had a chance to hook your computer back up and trouble-shoot your fax machine. Now, if you would have only color-coded or numbered all the wires and ports before you disconnected them, like Cliffy does, it would be done. I love you anyway.
