Spring is in the Air

So I don't know what the rest of you are experiencing weather wise in your respective elements but up here in Lloydminster is has been quite springy. (I really think it's becoming the new "southern alberta" with the lack of winter and random weather changes.)
I finished my four day week at practicum and got to spend Friday sleeping in (HA!) shopping (spending all Dan's money :) ) and then cleaning out the "hockey room"   PEWHEW!! It filled with a lot of crap. but it's been de junked and we now actually have that third bedroom back! :)
Which leaves us to our last BIG Spring project.... the lawn.. (dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn)

 Now this picture barely gives the yard the justice it deserves. I mean it was N-A-S-T-Y! So windblown over it looked like a nice comb over. Once raked... well you can see. Lets just say in some spots I'm sure I could have laid down and entered  a whole new world. It came up to my knee! (Shay you woulda been GONE!) Anyway we went out and got ourselves a nice new Lawn Mower and rake. ( Keep in mind.. we have no idea when this lawn was last mowed.) We proceeded to attack the lawn.

I mean we was really fighting for our lawn here. the poor thing.

Can ya see the difference. The left side is mowed. the right isn't... I tell ya we thought we were fighting a losing battle. Dan's allergies kicked in and Grass was blowing everywhere thanks to the wind (I tell ya the new Southern Alberta).
Nevertheless we persisted.

 Hacking away

(See there I am. Bet you were wondering where I was in all this. tehe. Well someone had to take the pictures. :P  I helped too. But no one took pictures of me. Cause I work hard all the time. It's just such a rare event for Daniel I had to capture a lot of images. :P )

Well anyway. We finally conquered the yard two hours later. Dust in our eyes and ears and nose and other areas that just probably shouldn't be mentioned on a blog.

The Front Yard

THE BACK YARD

 Gross hey? No worries we'll be better then the last occupants and keep the lawn up to date.
