My Lawn Journey!

 

Can you believe that this is the last week of September?  I had to take a picture of my last rose in my backyard.  It is getting cooler.  Our rain will be coming back soon.  Time for things to die for a season.


Sleeping babies.  Little baby.


And the big baby.  Ha!

This last week of September, we are getting back to a regular week after our September birthdays.  We had some rain this weekend which is wonderful!  We hardly get any rain in the summer so when the fall hits, we start to get rain again.

Thought I would share the journey of my lawn.  Ha!  When we moved here, it was full of weeds and a ton of clover.  I put down weed killer and well, there went the whole lawn!  It was literally ALL weeds and clover.





When all the clover and weeds were dead, I raked it all and tried to get up all that dead stuff.
Then I added some Miracle Grow soil and put down seed.



After my trip to Pensacola, we finally have some grass coming in!



The progression of growth!



Next set of photos.  I went through the whole lawn and tried to get all the crabgrass and weeds out - again.  By hand.  Once I took a few days to do that, I reseeded the areas that were thin or bare.








Felt good to get all those weeds out!  Get that good grass growing!

Next set of progression photos mid-September.







Slowly but surely, it is coming in!
The next set is right before Autumn's birthday.  I finally mowed to even it out.  Beautiful green color and getting quite thick. :)



Quite the difference!  I am proud of my lawn journey.  LOL!  Something satisfying about it. :)

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup) 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup mayo 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.).  Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined.  In another bowl, combine the crackers and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan.
