A long and relaxing winter...

Wow, it has been 6 months since I blogged.
I took the winter off from taking care of my lawn. 
Regretting it now. 
My daughter and I still raked the gazillion leaves during Fall, but I did not put down any weed preventer before winter. 
I have no more grass. Seriously, 
the weeds choked the life out it. 



This little weed is the evil culprit that has made my back ache this month.
I have pulled 100's of them. 
Yet, they keep multiplying. 
I am not the only house fighting the weed invasion though...
every house on my block has a yard that looks like mine;
except their yards are not as large. 


My daughter and I got the lawn mowed yesterday. 
Then I sprayed quite a few weeds with Roundup. 
There is no way I would be able to spray the entire yard... 
so I have a bright idea...


I am going to spread all of these wildflower seeds in my lawn. 
If I have to have weeds, they might as well be pretty ones. 
California is in a major drought this year, so I will do my part in non-watering. 


I have visions of my yard looking like this.
Except I don't have any of those gorgeous purple flowers/weeds. 


I hope it at least looks like this.
