Because I sod we would…

.

Rock wall repair completed, it was time to tackle the grass-less section of dirt. We’ve been abnormally dry for the past few months and our lush green lawn was anything but. The weeds? They’re doing just fine. 😡

We tried seeding the bald area, but of course the minute we did that… we had a gushing thunderstorm that washed it all into the ditch. Enter some strategically placed sod.

I’ve never sodded anything before so the fact that it came in nicely rolled little burritos tickled my funny bone.

The color doesn’t exactly match….

.

But it’s close enough for a ditch and will hopefully blend over time.

Trying to keep it moist enough to root will be a bit of a challenge with the drought….

But for $40 it was a quick efficient fix.

Window – 1. Bird – 0.

 

We live in the country with a large back yard…

This leads to a lot of avian visitors.

Some of whom sadly commit suicide on our windows.

I wasn’t here when this particular bird went splat, but it did leave me a rather prominently placed clue in our bedroom.
