Lava Rock

Went to dinner last night for our anniversary. Soon as we approached the door, there was sign that said AC in use, close door behind you. Normally wouldn't think twice but it got me a bit anxious. Thankfully it was early and only one table was seated ahead of us. Waitress wore face shield so that was appreciated. Case number is very low in the town we were in (Paris), but would feel better eating outside. Side note, we got our new mini ductless heat pump installed. I think the guy undersized the unit. We have 750sqft with 20' cathedral ceilings and he installed 12K btu Daikin. Online load calculators say we should be 15-18K. We ran unit for three hrs yesterday afternoon and we couldn't get temp in room down one degree from 78F. Humidity was lower though and it felt more comfortable. In comparison, our master bed which is 210sqft has 5K btu and works great.

New heat pump installed yesterday. anxious to try it out today

Not stopping me from pounding em on the deck. Sucks being solo

Big waste of money is what it is. Poor topsoil and no irrigation. Weeds took over late last summer and think we had some grub damag

We'll see if nearly 4" rn will do anything to "green up" the nasty back yard

I'm going to try this stuff but there's little to no rn in the forecast

Here's the final product. About 25 different shrubs, perennials and other bushes. Many are small now, but will get much larger. After many failed attempts of getting grass to grow in this spot, we thought this would look nice. Now we have to bring in more topsoil in the Fall and reseed the surrounding area around the mulch bed with grass seed. I'm confident that with good topsoil we can get grass to grow consistently well. I will say we need some rain quite desperately as the soil is bone dry.

Work has begun to transform this failed lawn area with more natural landscaping with shrubs and such. Before and during. Will post when she's done.

haven't cut the lawn yet. Letting it grow to get through the heat of this week. She's pretty tall (10") in the areas where there is growth. I'm putting minimal effort into this this summer.

36.1f. Most of the snow gone but stiff NW wind and squalls atm. Pretty ridiculous for mother's day wknd

That's like a fake Hollywood scene
