Over this past year, the boys have killed the grass. We had a pretty serious mud problem last winter where I was mopping the hallway twice per day with a laundry load of towels.

I actually took this picture after returning home from my Master Gardener class and finding Hanno waiting for me at the back door. He had taught himself how to open our windows (including locked windows) and jumped out. He spent the day going back and forth between our backyard and the neighbor’s backyard, bringing back some of their things into our yard – a pillow and a Seahawks toy football.
After a quick online search, cedar play chips sounded like the best solution. I bought six cubic yards for our little dog-side-of-the-yard. Somehow we moved it all in two hours.

Such a beautiful day.
