Landscaping

Casey has wanted to do some landscaping around our yard, mostly to save the roots of our trees. Since we live on a hill, when it rains the water runs down and washes out the grass/dirt around one of our oak trees. Casey thought by lining our driveway with monkey grass and covering the roots of the tree with pine-straw, it would eliminate the problem. It was a good idea and has solved the rain/mud-slide issue.



However, with a teenage driver who cannot back out straight 80% of the time, it did not last 3 weeks before a portion fell victim to Kaitlyn's tires.



Unfortunately, Casey was leaving for work at the time and witnessed the whole event taking place. I heard some commotion(Casey) outside and looked out the window to see what was happening. That's when I saw the result of Kaitlyn's latest "driving in reverse" incident.

That afternoon Casey was back outside in the rain, fixing what had taken him 2 hours to do a few weeks before and Kaitlyn only a few seconds to take out.



He has now rearranged the parking arrangements, so as to prevent any more problems with Kaitlyn's driving and his landscaping work --Hopefully I can veer to the right better than Kaitlyn!

Oh no!!!! Poor Kaitlyn -- She'll get the hang of the driving in reverse. :) I hope so for your plants sake. :)
