I may have mentioned that our yard had grubs earlier this year.  They moved in last year sometime and began destroying the back yard.  We have since sprayed for them, and the grass startd to recover – but there was/is still a lot of areas devoid of good, thick grass.  Not suprisingly, weeds found these areas great for growing.  (Not to mention my watering laziness which hasn’t helped the front yard…)
So I spent 3.5 hours pulling weeds and mowing on Saturday!   I had no idea I would almost fill one of those tall yard waste bags.

I need to stay on top of the yard like I was the past couple years, but it’s so hard to be motivated when it just doesn’t look as good as it used to.
