Farewell Grass!

 The children in our neighborhood love to play in our yard.  They are here often.  They are upset that we are taking out some of our grass in the front yard and replacing it with terraced xeriscaping.  The day the workers started on the project, they spent the day making signs and cards and staging a bit of a protest.  They all sat across the street in lawn chairs and watched and mourned. They each collected grass to save and framed some of the grass for us.  They're a funny bunch.  




They even had a picnic on the edge. (They often have picnics on our yard.)  

We have asked them not to play in our yard until the project is completed to protect the equipment, etc and for their safety.  It has been a nice reprieve from the noise. It was increasing as more and more children joined the group and they were here many hours a day (and night).  I will post pictures of our project.  We have been taking them day by day as the work progresses.  It's exciting!
