Whew... I was out workin' in the yard all day, got the worn bare spot in the yard right in front of the porch softened up, got seed down and watered, and got a temporary fence up so the dogs can't get in it. There's more area to do, but at least part of it has been started. Softening it up when it's so compacted is hard work by hand. I wished I had a tiller! I tossed a little hay on top to hold moisture in.

Come on now.... GROW!

This is the temp fence I put around the whole front yard, you can see it barely in the pic above. I re-used an old roll of field fence ... Now the dogs HAVE to use the doggie door in the back, they can't get to the front door. I like those little step in posts, we bought them at the feed store sale a month ago.

Evening Hair-something about dogs and other critters and nice lawn seem incompatible somehow... Gypsygirl has done a number on the back yard this winter, but ya know, we don't much care. Guess well plant some more flowers and throw seed on the rest.
