This little pile of sod is all that is left of two huge pickup loads of sod we put out in our yard. We didn't plan on putting out any sod this year but when we got some for free, we couldn't turn it down. We had to scramble because we did it kind-of backwards: we got the sod first and then we got the yard ready for the sod. That's because we got a pickup load free from the sod farm that is right behind our house. They were cutting sod and Chris asked one of the workers if we could get some of the broken pieces that were left behind and he said we could. So we jumped right in the pickup and loaded up as much as we could! We got that put down and then a day or two later, our ward members from down the street asked us if we wanted some sod. They were cutting out the grass around their pool to put down gravel and had a bunch of rolls. They brought us a huge pickup load so we spend several more evenings pulling weeds, raking and putting out sod! It was enough sod to almost fill up the weedy spot at the side of the house. It is so nice to have grass instead of stickers!
