SNOW is a 4 letter word

Ok so we leave beautiful Star Valley on Sunday afternoon. Yes there was a little snow on the mountainside, but it started snowing in Green River Sunday night. Look what we work to on Monday morning.

What a Difference a Week Can Make

The red leaves are going away, but notice the snow on the mountainside. This part of the yard was seeded with grass seed. It is starting to come in.

Some of the aspens are starting to turn in the valley.

It was a pretty cold weekend. But it was very relaxing with not a lot of work to do.

Fall Leaves 2009

It has been 3 weeks since the Sod Party. The grass is coming in really great. I think a few of the pallets were dryer than the rest and look a little lighter in the pictures, but it is growing well.

The bushes on the mountainside are really red right now. Only a few of the Aspens are starting to turn. They get reall yellow when the red is about gone.

Fall is a great time at the Ranch. The forcast is for snow next weekend.

Labor Day Pictures

After laying sod on Saturday, we did get some family pictures on Sunday. Cute Kids!!!!

This is what Star Valley is all about, family and fun. They like to come to Star Valley a lot more than Green River. It feels like going home again.

Finally Grass

The Semi Truck load of sod was 9,000 square feet. Everyone helped as we started Friday night and finished up by mid morning on Saturday.

Paige wanted to know if Grandma thought it was straight?

We did have a great crew that really worked hard.

9,000 square feet of sod is 16 pallets. Oh what fun.

It was so great to see grass that I just could not stop taking pictures. You all come and visit!!!!

More Work in Star Valley Getting Ready For Sod

After a big Saturday doing sprinklers, we had a few weeks to rake rocks and get ready for sod. Jace and Carter decited that we can't work all the time.

Who says that Grandma's bed is just for sleeping. Jace and Carter know how to use it best.

The curbing was also added around the house.

We are finally ready for a Labor Day Sod Party.

Saturday and Sprinklers July 31st

What a fun Saturday. Shane Craig and families came to do the sprinkler system in Star Valley. Yes in 1 day we say 1100 feet of pipe, 43 sprinkler heads and 10 valves. Jace is telling Grandma how to adjust the sprinkler. Grandma and Grandpa know how to rake rocks and smooth it out.

Shane thinks we have pulled enough pipe. Now we have to install the sprinkler heads.

Look who is using the controls below. Carter in now the offical backhoe operator.

Who needs a trencher when you can pull the pipe with a machine like this?

Who needs a backhoe when you have a shovel like Jace?

Now we know how to install the sprinklers. Way to go Jen.

It was a long hard day, but we now have sprinklers. Someday we want to go and play.
