Hey...A Little Recognition Please

You do remember what the yard looked like with all the stumps left from the trees cut down last Fall right?

Well, as you can imagine,both the Pres and I began to grow tired of looking at the devastation all Winter and once the onset of Spring began, we grew even more anxious.



Then our BFF, Luke, called one evening telling us he'd be by that weekend.   And there he was...the very next morning.

Now I will say that although we always enjoy his company, his appearance was like "the knight in shining armor" that day!


As you know, he came by with the backhoe did this.

And then this...

So then a week ago, we did this:

Late one afternoon, more than a few bales of hay were spread over the seeded loam and it was my job to wet it down because "we're expecting wind before the rain comes in so it's your job to wet it down thoroughly to prevent it from exposing the seed."  

So after a workout at the gym that morning, vacuuming and pulling more damn darn roots and picking up more rocks, I dragged the hose and began watering like the man said.

When it was done, I was exhausted and couldn't wait to hit the shower and put my jammies on.  And I will say that rolling up a 75' hose filled with water takes a lot of cranking!

The next day when I looked out to see if the hay was still in place, I saw that it hadn't budged.  Thinking that I did a good job at wetting it down and expecting a little recognition, I said to the Pres, "Boy, Honey, I must have done a good job because the hay didn't budge."   

The Pres, with his short, simple, poignant response said, "Hon, the wind never blew and it poured last night."  

"just saying and sharing..."

Our World Tuesday

Hay is for horses

And better for cows

But pigs don't eat it

'Cause they don't know how"

Does anyone know if that's true?????  Better still, does anyone remember that little poem?
Regardless, the grass that germinates because of it will be the BEST!
