the wedding project continues

wow....it's been over 2 weeks since i've written anything! lots going on here since the last time i wrote.  we're on the count down.... less than 2 months to the wedding.

after the backhoes and dump trucks & tractor left, we had to make a decision between sod or hydroseed in order to have a beautiful lawn for the big day.  we have about 6000 square feet to cover so we researched price, growth time and maintenance to help us decide.  we ended up choosing hydroseed as the success rate is higher and we've had a little trouble with sod in the past.  either way the real key is water...water...and more water!  my dear hubby spent his weekend moving around sprinklers from dawn to dusk.  thank you dear and thank you god for the rain today!!!

  3. You are off to a great start in creating a paradise! Love your selection of flowers! Your 'onion' may be an allium and it is in the onion family. What a beautiful setting for a wedding!
