April 27th..........Pretty much done

 Well, I have done as much as I can.  The backyard is as done for now.  The big patch has been seaded and we should see new grass popping up in a week or so.  Supposed to get warmer weather in the next few days so that should help. 

Re-did some stuff.  Made my brick sidewalk another brick wider; which I like.  Made a few beds bigger and did some other rearranging to make it look different.  My initial thoughts are that I did not put much effort into the backyard because I knew it would have to be tore up.  The septic replacement should have been replaced about 15 years ago.  Sooooooooo  every year that went by.  I like the new look.  I need more color.  Stay tuned.

Made the sidewalk a brick wider

Love the bench Dennis made

I cannot believe he built a fire this am.

Backyard...finally as acceptable as I can get it. April 22nd...

 Got my first vaccine this am.  Second is scheduled for May 14th.  What an organized, well oiled process. 

Back yard went from awful to acceptable.  I like it.  Just need to get the big patch seeded and grown up.

Septic Tank replacement April 10, 2021

 Glad it is over.  Mack did a fabulous job.  The existing tank was full of holes (large) on the top and has likely been like that for over 20 years.  Fortunate that I and the lawn mower did not fall through over the years. 

We are going to level and reseed, get the brick walk back to what it was like when I first laid it, level some more bricks and we are good.  Looking at turf next spring.  Depends on how much energy we have and with Dennis, it is not much.  Discovering that we run out of steam much sooner than later.

Gorgeous days here....windy today.
