The Backyard!

We have been so focused on the front yard for so long we have been completely ignoring the backyard. This is what happens when you do that...

The grass...let's face it the weeds were talker than Owen!

Michael took this picture kneeling down. That speck of red you see if the red from the lawn mower!!!

Michael had to empty the lawn mower bag quite a few times. He also had to keep lifting up the mower so the poor thing wouldn't choke and die since the grass was so long. I'm so thankful that Michael chose this night to mow the grass because this was the night when we had all the rain from the thunderstorms that came through. I can't imagine how long it would have taken for the grass to dry out so he could mow it without having to empty the bag every foot.

This is the tallest weed that we found. It was literally taller than Michael. This is after the mower cut it down so you know it was taller than this. I had to move it in front of the red door so you could get the full effect.

These are the grass piles that Michael had to rake up because the mower just couldn't pick up all that grass. It was like a green carpet in the backyard.
