Our Icelandic Landscape Crew





About the middle of summer, the grass always seems to start to fade and thin out under the two giant maple trees in our yard because of the dense shad, heat and lack of rain. Our all Icelandic landscape crew has completely transformed our yard so we set them to work on this project. They assembled their very best Lawn watering team for the task! Although their landscape designs might not be for everyone, our landscape crew provides us with hours of entertainment.



We have also been designated as an official wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation we are now Habitat No. 105,533. We have had countless rabbit families raised in the backyard, butterflies abound, robins hatch regularly, hummingbirds are frequent visitors and now we are raising pheasants for release next spring. I sincerely doubt that they had the kind of "wildlife" pictured in our little video in mind when they granted it that Certification. Kaffi and Jolasveinn have the very best time playing together.
