A lot of people have complained about the weather this summer: cool, with frequent light showers and thunderstorms. However, for someone starting lawns in July it has worked out well. The lawn around the house has recovered nicely and will likely be trimmed the next time we mow.

We moved our peonies along the fence between the fence and driveway. They are doing well considering they sat in tubs under the shed for a couple of weeks. The re-seeded lawn is thick and doing well too. Also visible is the driveway rubble mix that we spread on the new driveway.

The other hillside sections got seeded later and are a little slower coming in, but look like they will be OK. The mulch we spread is still visible as the wet bales of hay were very clumpy and hard to spread.

Finally a shot of our driveway looking down from the deck.
