Fall came too quickly and I ran out of time and money to prep the yard for grass, but I did get our front flower bed cleaned up and properly mulched. We’ll try to add a layer fill dirt or top soil to the rest of the yard before next fall and try to plant some grass then.

Photography is just a hobby for me so it was hard to justify the cost in that regard, but I knew my memories would suffer without a great way to preserve them.
