Weeding the Hay Field

Last fall we threw down a lot of grass seed and spread straw so that the seeds wouldn't fly away. The grass grew this spring along with a straw field. I started pulling straw in one area and decided it was worth it. Many contractors asked if we had ever heard of a mower but I didn't want it to come back so I pulled each piece by hand.

Lisa saw what I was up to and joined me. She also did the whole area between the lake and the house. It was hard on the back but it sure looked nice when it was done.
