...in my yard! I hope you guys don't think I'm literally the most boring blogger in the history of the world, but I am seriously going to talk about grass today. And not the kind we kept getting offered while on our Caribbean vaca last week.
But the kind that made me say HOLY COW when we pulled into the driveway (ie. this is a crappy iPhone pic) after 10 days away. Green grass.
Yes, it's still filled with got some minor weed issues, but my yard is filling in with grass. Holla.
Seriously though, can you blame a girl whose yard used to look like this just one short year ago?
Exactly, you love it too. So I get to be that weird girl who blogs about grass.
I was really flipping excited when we got home to this. I even jumped up and down and said WHAT THE FESCUE!!!!! Okay, maybe I'm going a little overboard, but as you saw here, our front yard is rocking it this spring!
We were told to let the little baby grass grow in, so we can't cut it for awhile. Yessssss, we get to be those people in the neighborhood who don't cut their grass. As if I wasn't already "that girl" based upon the fact that I was standing in my yard, taking pictures of my grass....
Hopefully I'll be showing you more shots of our front yard looking like this, in no time at all.
Have you ever been this excited about yard work? Lets here about it! Maybe then I'll sound a little more sane ; )
LOL - lucky you dont have to cut them yet! your azaleas (?) are in full bloom too!
ReplyDeleteNo joke. . . our grass is finally thick and green and I have done the happy dance as well!!! I so get it. Congrats on the grass.
ReplyDeleteThis will be our second spring in our house and I am hoping that our grass comes in thick this year! Your yard looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteActually, I am really happy too we have lush green grass. We never did when I was a kid (despite living in wet Tasmania).
ReplyDeleteOurs is really thick and its only really happened this year.
woohoo!! I'm excited for you.
Hahahaha. You sound like my hubby. He loves some pretty green grass.
ReplyDeleteHa, a girl after my own heart! We spent spring break in our back yard. The grass back there is the next phase on the agenda...bermuda didn't work (too many shady areas), the zeon zoysia didn't take...I am going back to what I love...FESCUE!! I want green grass in winter due to the dogs.
ReplyDeleteI understand your excitement. I guess April showers are good for something!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I get excited about my lawn looking good too! I think everyone does, whether they admit it or not :)
ReplyDeleteOh you are not the most boring with this post lol. Grass is exciting, especially when it's as vibrant and green as yours! :)
ReplyDeleteI completely get your excitement! Girl, I get excited when one of my plants makes it for two weeks.
ReplyDeleteYour house is so pretty! And love that you're this excited over grass! I literally just commented to my fiance that I was glad our grass was growing in front of our house this morning. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you, Michelle -- We're in the process of weeding/growing grass/generally doing everything the previous homeowners of our first place never did, and it makes me super excited! We got a tiny bit of much-needed rain last night, and I woke up to our backyard looking downright lush compared to what it's been looking like (dead straw). Congrats on your grass! Yay!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome! I definitely get excited about things like that! A few weekends ago we did a TON of yard work and it feels so rewarding every day when I pull up to the house. :)
ReplyDeleteUm, I get excited when I start to see the new mulch being laid!! Seriously, it's a sign of spring and I just love it!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha--You are hilarious. Glad Im not the only one who gets excited about the little things.....Its the little things that matter.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is lovely! I would be excited about that yard too! =]
ReplyDeleteYou don't even want to see our "yard"! In fact, another landscaping architect is coming over today.
ReplyDeleteit's gorgeous...really, i understand the grass of it all! we had to excavate around the garage in order to have it pass inspections after it was finished and had to put the dirt...well, somewhere else. it landed all over the backyard (red clay is yukky), so it's been a long journey back to the land of fescue here, too! doesn't the body shop sell a fragrance called fresh cut grass? because that's a favorite here. :)
ReplyDeleteI understand! We have had a hard time getting our lawn to green up and getting the weeds under control. Congratulations, I feel your excitement.
ReplyDeleteI so get where you are coming from. Our lawn has been a struggle since we moved in our house. The other day I was thrilled to see some green popping up even if it included crab grass. :)
ReplyDeleteokay this is so funny b/c I was just telling my husband how much I love the smell of fresh grass. We get excited about mowing it and gardening and such:D
ReplyDeleteOh I've been known to get excited about grass, too. (No, not that kind.)
ReplyDeleteYour lawn is looking good!!!
I was going to plant some grass seed this week on our lawn but we're supposed to get 10-15 cm of snow tonight. What!?!??!
Ha! You are so funny! I'll be happy when our grass finally turns green again this year... we STILL have snow in our yard! Ugh. Like, it snowed TODAY. blurg.
ReplyDeleteI was so excited these past few weeks when the flowers (blanket daisies & black eyed susans) grew up after their long-hard winter. It was my first time seeing flowers come up from plants that I planted!
ReplyDeleteYour grass looks amazing as does your house and the gigantic trees. What a gorgeous spot you have!
ReplyDeleteWanna know what my yard looks like Michelle? Oh wait. I don't have a yard. That's right hahaha I adore you. And am truly excited for you, promise :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteI like the look of your blog. You've changed things. Not weird at all to excited about the green carpet. We have great grass where folks can see it but don't get me started on the backyard. The dogs have given it a makeover. Hubster is in the process of making a dog run so hopefully we will have grass, again. Your yard is looking awesome! You have a beautiful house and lot!
Best wishes,
~Michelle :)
I live in Georgia as well...Northwest Atlanta in Smyrna and would love to know how you did that! Did you poke holes in the ground first...there is a technical term but I can't think of it right now...
