We managed to put down some sods before the rain started. We’ve done a lot of research on whether to start the grass from seeds or sods. We finally decided to buy sods from our local Homedepot (we are basically there every weekend). I believe the sod we got is called Dwarf Fescue. It is recommended for the weather in our area (drought tolerant for dry summer). We still have to finish the rest of the grass area when the weather is allowed– another 10 days of rain.

I know we need rain. We had dry winters for the past few years, which caused the low water supply in California. BUT, BUT, BUT, if you can see me, you would know how miserable I look in the cold and wet winter, wrapped in layers of unmatched clothes. Growing up in the southern Taiwan, I’m not programmed for the cold weather. I thrive in sunshine and warm weather. O Spring, where art thou?
