Thursday – A Little Personal – New Stuff

~ John W. Howell

Twiggy and Lucy

“Let go, Lucy.”

“You let go, Little Potato. Wait, what is that noise?”

Twiggy and Lucy

“Look, Lucy. Some green stuff.”

“It sure is Little one.”

“OMG, Twiggy. There is a guy with a load of green stuff.”

“Where, Lucy? I don’t see him.”

“You have to look out the door again.”

“Wow. Should I bark him back to St. Louis?”

“Go to the bedroom door and see if he’s still there.”

“Yes, he’s still there.”

“Hold off on the bark. I have a feeling this is a good thing.”

“Hold on, Twiggy. Here’s the Boss. Hey, Boss what’s going on?”

“They are laying the new sod, Lucy.”

“Can we go out and see it?”

“Gotta have leashes. Lots of water flowing.”

“This sure has changed. Where are the mud and burrs?”

“I don’t know, Little one but I like it.”

“Look over there, Lucy. green stuff.”

“The Boss said it was sod. Let’s go look.”

“Wait. This is familiar.”

“It’s grass, Little One. We have grass at last.”

“I don’t know. Walks funny.”

“Than’s cause it’s new. We can break it in.”

“Come on, Lucy. Time to go back. It is so hot.”

“Yeah one more sniff of this beautiful grass, Little one. One more sniff.”

  12. I remember installing sod in the middle of summer. You’re going to hate your water bill, but I’m glad you can check that off your list. And the girls looks so happy! Thanks for the morning smile.

  16. Grass has made the scene, which is a great chapter in this home make-over. As for the peeps who were delivering the stuff . . . poor peeps in long sleeves! I cannot imagine . . .

    1. I know. We provided water and they went through a ton. I think they would rather sweat than get sunburn. Also yard work can be itchy if you have any sensitivity to grass and plants. Thanks, Mark.
