  Jeff and I (well, mostly Jeff) spent the whole day outside reworking a flower bed.  We took out three ugly bushes, pulled up 30 feet by 3 feet of grass, and moved/added sprinkler heads.  I'll post a picture of it when we're done, but for now here's a shot of my first sunburn of the season:
  The back of my legs, arms, and neck are all this nice pink, which only took about a half hour in the sun before I remembered sunblock.

  1. Do you have a secret for pulling up grass? The beds by our pool have been overtaken by grass, and I need an easy way to get rid of it. And by easy, I mean easier than paying someone to do it.

  2. I'm not sure there's any way easier than paying someone to do it. We "cut" it into rectangular sections, then I pulled up on one end while Jeff shoved a flat shovel under the grass. It came up like rolled pieces of sod. Does that make any sense? It was much quicker as a two person job.
