finally friday

I have decided this is a fun little game- tell you all my plans for the weekend, and then see on Monday how well I followed through. Because, like I said before, I am always motivated by a good list, and this way I have the added encouragement of blogland holding me accountable.

-put together lawnmower
-gas up the weed wacker (crossing my fingers now that we fixed the gas line) and then go  whack some weeds
-2 long runs
-nail the rest of the boards up for my hallway project
-find my camera charger so I can take more pictures
-make 1 of the 3 returns sitting around the house

 Let's see if I can get that stuff done, plus the usual weekend tasks, and of course work a few Twins games.

Now, switching gears, for some much anticipated pictures of our backyard...

Before:

 

During:

And Currently:

It has been 2.5 weeks since we tore up the backyard and sprinkled the seed. Luckily we have gotten plenty of rain, however I am thinking a little mores sunshine couldn't hurt things. On the plus side, we have just as much, if not more grass than we started with, spread out evenly over the yard. On the down side, there are still a lot of bare spots, the grass just seems to have grown in 5" circles all over the yard. So now, do we try putting more seed down now, or do we wait until the fall in hopes that there are few a few straggling seeds down there just waiting to sprout? Professional opinions anyone?
