Here was the sunset Friday night:

Here was the view from our dinner table:

Here are our dear friends that gave us some lovely sod for our lawn:

Here is breakfast Saturday morning. Yes, we mix 7 types of cereal for breakfast!

Here is Matt plugging away!


Here is part of the sod we got from our friends:

The other sod that we got, to cover the remaining part of the lawn was found on Craigslist, for FREE! And, it is gorgeous:


We have a LAWN! Now, neighbors: come and talk to us again! :)
WHEW. We are BEAT. We laid the sod yesterday and today, and also ran 13 miles. We are pooped to say the least...
Have a great rest of your Labor Day weekend, all!

Looks good Ruhiyyih! It's pretty amazing you guys did all that after a 13 mile run!
Wow! You all definitely have more energy than me. 13 miles and then laying sod?!? Wow!
It looks wonderful. :o)
LOL--my word ver is "Laters". Hee hee
Excellent lawn! Sounds like a busy weekend. Kudos on 13 miles, hope Matt's feet are ok!
The sod looks great! And I love your comment "neighbors come and talk to us now" - hilarious!
This weekend was a whirlwind for us too. Went to Charlottesville on Saturday for some wineries and a football game, back to DC on Sunday. Today we went paddle boating at the Tidal Basin.
You've peaked my curiosity -- is there a reason for mixing 7 cereals or is it just because you like the way it tastes?
Hooray for a yard!
Although - I would have talked to you with or without the grass....
Wish some of our rain was headed your way - keep that sod watered. It'll look even better next spring.
i'm new around here and wow!
amazing and beautiful sod.
7 kinds of cereal ... what are they? love the mixing!
marathon training ... i admire you. i think i'd fall over dead. literally.
looking forward to reading more!
