There is a place where dirt piles were once five feet tall...
where a little boy would climb those dirt piles swinging a mattock...
where a 60 year-old and a less-than-fit 26 year-old shoveled those dirt piles...
and where days of laying irrigation lines and sprinklers took place.
This place is our yard - and tomorrow it shall have grass! [If all goes as expected]
For Elliott, this will be bittersweet. He has enjoyed the dirt and was slightly saddened to see it evened out over the front and back yards.
Tomorrow we expect a truck with 6,100 square feet of sod to stop by our house and unload 12 pallets. We will lay out the sod ourselves, and then finally, after living here for 9 months...
We will have grass that I have to mow every week!
Somehow that doesn't sound as glorious as it should.

Did you ever see "The Burbs" with Tom Hanks? You're gonna be that guy in a few years.
It is garbage day today, maybe I should go through our neighbors garbage cans! The two houses across the street were just moved into this week. Maybe I can come up with some conspiracy!
How did it go?
