...And Then You Water It In

We worked out in the back yard today.  We decided to eliminate the garden for next year so it needed to be cleaned up and seeded with grass.  Once it was all leveled out and raked; we covered the newly scattered grass seed with straw and then watered the whole thing to keep it from blowing away.
What we want now is a good soaking rain and reasonable temps for a while, until it can get started.
