The Joys of Homeownership ~ Matt

I used to have my own lawncare business as a teenager in Virginia and even worked at a golf course for 4 years but I don't remember keeping up with a lawn being this much of a pain in the butt! When we moved in back in March, our freshly sodded yard of Saint Augustine grass looked so funny, like a patchwork quilt and I remember Heather and I just hoping "it would set it's roots and fill in a little bit." Well, IT DID, and with all the afternoon T-storms our grass and our WEEDS have flourished. I just bought a new weedeater/edger combo from the stihl dealer and was actually a little excited to use my new toy, so I set out this past weekend to weed all of our mulch beds and get our yard looking good again. Several hours and bucket-fulls of weeds later it was finished and I have to say it does look pretty nice. The only thing is it will need to be mowed again tomorrow :-/ Oh well...

Hopefully I can get all of my honey-do list done this week as Tropical Storm (Soon to be Hurricane) Bertha draws closer to Florida bringing with her LONG period swells and offshore winds which translates to waist to chest high barrels and longboarding fun ;-)

3 weeks 'til the wedding!!
