Why We Love Chuck (reason #186)

We moved in to our new house knowing that the backyard was pretty much a dirt bowl (mostly due to the previous owners lack of maintenance and the fact that they had 3 large dogs). Thankfully Chuck could see past all the dirt and envision greener days ahead. Not without lots of back breaking work! After much research Chuck headed to the garden store to find just the right combination of top soil, fertilizer, and seed to ensure a beautiful green backyard.

The following Sunday Chuck headed out (all on his own!) to spread 100 bags of top soil, followed by fertilizer and grass seed. Then we waited (and watered and PRAYED!). Low and behold we began to a haze of green start to appear! And now four weeks later.....we have our a beautiful bowling green!

Thanks, Chuck! Charlotte and I will sure enjoy our backyard come spring :)
