grass doesn't seem to like to grow in our texas heat.  it was literally sprouting like weeds in the spring, when we initially seeded.  dan was having to mow almost 2-3 times a week.  the growing during the summer seems to have stalled though.  and, the vibrant green that once was the color of the grass has now dulled to a less appealling shade of green.  yesterday, dan installed a third sprinkler in the backyard and set the timer to water the lawn twice a day instead of the previous once a day. 

remnants of our old grass seem to have popped up in parts of our yard.   

weeds have taken over other parts.




yet another reason why i absolutely abhor summers in texas!  brutal.  just brutal.
