(looking at you, Washington DC)> I was raised in DC and can confirm that my family and all the neighbors I know rely on bottled or filtered water. We only used the tap to cook with.

Yeah it's easy to get bummed when plans don't work out like you hoped (I've been dealing with a lot of that this season). But your efforts go to show that if you keep trying you can wind up with something you can be proud of =) I'll keep that in mind as I soldier on with my back yard.
Looks great. You figured out what works for you and went with it instead of fighting it. That's the way to get things done. Awesome job!
I did 'no mow May' this year and my neighbors hated it. The dumbest part was that the grass wasn't any longer than the flowers I planted at the same time. My next door neighbor cuts his grass so short you can see all the 'bald' spots of dirt because he won't let the grass grow enough to cover it. He's very proud of it.
Haha, that's great, your MIL sound fun. We've all been 'bunny's assistant' over the years (helping to buy stuff) but maybe next Easter mom will get her own basket!
My siblings and I are all in our 30s and we still get visits from the Easter Bunny. We go through our baskets in front of our mom and talk about how much we enjoy our gifts from 'the bunny'. I wasn't able to be with my family this year so my Easter basket shower up in a FedEx box. Chocolate is chocolate, I've got no problems with this tradition.
Super interesting, I never heard anything like it.
Do, do, do do do do, da do do do do do do, do Do do Do do do do KIKIWAKA!
I'm okay with it, at least it's upbeat =)
