The Swamp

Big, BIG news!!! I finally, FINALLY laid sod last weekend! And when I say "I...laid sod," I really mean "We...laid sod." And by "WE" I mean:

Seth, Jason, Jamie, Teresa, LeAnn, Marcos, and Tyler (not pictured)

These are my angels, my heroes, my friends who are invited to use my backyard anytime, even if I'm not there. Invite yourself over, invite your friends over, invite me if you don't mind!

What a day it was! We shot for the 2 hours between conference sessions on Saturday to complete the job. And if you remember, it was a wet weekend!

"We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin' rain... and big ol' fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath."

(Name that movie!)
BIG Hint:


Needless to say, we were drenched and covered in mud.

But I can't say THANK YOU enough to those who helped!
Here's what it looked like last week, after the rainy weekend and before the snowy weekend:


And just for kicks and giggles,

I've got some serious carving planned!

PS. For those of you who were SO worried, I did finally find my camera, so there'll be quite a few posts to look forward to this week (or to dread this week, for those of you who are the "glass half empty" type!)

Thanks for the blog link! That picture of us makes it look like it was a nice sunny day. I was soaked!! My coat was completely soaked through and I was wet underneath, not to mention muddy. It was hard work, but I'm glad it turned out nice.
