A Yard!!

Randy and Sherrie Hobbs donated 6 pallets of sod to my yard "project". (That's almost $1,000). It was quite a shock and then another shock when 35 people showed up at 5:30 this evening to lay it. Do you know how fast 35 people can lay 5,000 square feet of sod? 20 minutes! Yes siree. In 20 minutes it was done and we were all standing around eating pizza, cookies, and brownies and drinking lemonade and ice water. I am so truly blessed. I know that the Lord answers prayers through other people, because I was sure praying for help with what used to be such a mess. Now more than half of the yard is covered with sod. I'm also praying for some cooler weather, but I know that I can't always get everything I want. Besides the 9 days that Wayne Priestly has worked so hard getting the ground ready, Dave and Doug Rallision have donated 10 loads of compost, Frank Priestly donated 2 loads of top soil, someone I don't even know donated gravel, Randy and Sherrie donated the sod, and the neighbors on both sides of me are letting me use their water shares to keep things green. Do I live in a great little town or what???
