I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I’ve been battling weeds in the backyard. I finally got them all pulled this past weekend. I filled about 8 more bags with the evil vegetation. Now I still need to mow the lawn, rake out the rest of the debris and start planting grass before it’s too late and it all gets fried by the brutal Texas sun. I discovered that you can’t plant St. Augustine, you have to sod it. I decided to get some Fescue seed instead since I’m not a very big fan of St. Augustine. We’ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n
Being a huge Hitchcock fan, I thought this<\/a> site was really cool. It reminds you how much things change over time. I wonder if anyone has done something similar with Austin? Downtown in particular has really changed even in the last 14 years since I moved here. It also reminded me that I wish I had taken a before and after picture of the yard after all of this weed pulling. Taking photos and video can be a pain in the ass, but it’s so cool to be able to look back many years later and see things that you forgot about. This becomes even more apparent when you’ve got little ones. I’m not sure where I’m going with this. Just trying to reinforce it with myself, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I’ve been battling weeds in the backyard.
