Spring’s here…
It’s a long weekend for me. I work for the School District of Oconee County (my freelancing is done when I have the time) and Monday is a holiday for students & faculty. This comes at a perfect time, as the weather has warmed during the day in South Carolina. I spent all day yesterday getting the front lawn in better shape and doing what I can with the back yard. That deserves a post of its own…the back yard has been a work in progress since we built the house, thanks to shoddy landscapers. As of today, it’s almost ready for sowing. We hired a great hardscaper to turn a horrible mountain of dirt into something wonderful.
I’m sitting on our patio, looking at the smooth dirt rippled with excavator treads, listening to the birds and planes overhead. This patio had thus far been anything but welcoming. One would walk out and be immediately presented with a rising mound of red dirt, speckled with fescue grass and weeds. Now it’s rather inviting. A real place to enjoy the spring and summer days ahead. Before long, I’ll be able to walk off the patio into grass.
