While visiting the house for the New Home Presentation, I did see some sod that was put out next to the big rubbish bin. I wondered if any of it was worth saving, but really didn't have time to investigate any further that morning. I figured it would be stolen yesterday, so didn't put any more thought into it. Much to our surprise, it was still there this morning.

This time, instead of visiting the home for progress, I wanted to make sure the sod was kept moist, to give the roots a chance to set, so we headed over with the hose and sprinkler. Unfortunately, we didn't have the right connection for the hose and when we saw that we could rescue some of the sod, we took a short trip to Bunnings. I was quite the fashion statement - with my Timberlands muddied up to my ankles, leggings, a skirt and big jumper full of dirt from carrying the sod to the back, and windblown hair even Medusa would call wild.

We came back with a timer for the hose and some soil and top soil to put under the new sod. I'm not convinced it will take, but I'll do my best. The reason it's so important to me is my dogs! I'm quite anxious about the fact that they won't have a fenced yard to enjoy when we move (at least not at the rate my neighbours are moving). And even if they did, there's not a blade of grass for them to walk on. At least now, for the moment, we can put their leashes on and bring them onto the grassy patch to go to the bathroom instead of on muck. It's not much, but it's something, until we get settled.
