Only at the Mertz House

When we bought our house last year it had been empty for quite some time.  We were lucky that the previous owners had put in all the cement in the backyard because there is a ton and it would have been way expensive.  Unfortunately, the sod that was there was totally dead and beyond repair.  Last summer we replaced the sod and had the curb a lawn done for the flower beds but they still sit empty because there is so many of them and trees, and bushes and things are so pricey!  This year we have decided to start establishing our backyard so we started by planting the lemon tree that Dave’s mom and step dad gave us.

HPIM3583 Now, the reason for the title!  Only at the Mertz house will you find even the 2 year old girl with her shirt off working in the back yard!  At least they were in the back and the neighbors couldn’t see!
