Love in Action (a little before & after)

Today was a wonderful day. I woke up early (i.e. for a weekend) because I was so excited a team from my church was coming to do a big project at my house: re sodding by downtrodden front yard. It had been taken over by weeds (especially those pesky violets) and crabgrass. It also had a huge dead spot due to the large amount of clay fill that had been deposited into the hole the plumbers created when they dug up my yard to put in new pipes. New grass has been long overdue but the task seemed so daunting to me. Today, on the contrary, 9 lovely people were Love In Action. They removed the sods, put it all in compost bags, rototilled, raked, evened-out, and laid 810 square feet of sod. Not bad for 2 hours and 45 minutes. It was impressive.

My failing yard.
