Lack of rain produces a yard without grass
A little rain in Greensboro the other night, and that's a good thing. It's too late for the plot of dirt that I used to call my front yard. Summer started off with plenty of rain -- no need for sprinklers. When it all dried up, I refrained from watering because I was trying to be a good citizen. My neighbors might say that I was just ready to be done with mowing season, but that's just a rumor.
I'm afraid to aerate this season for fear of jarring my fillings loose. Those aerators aren't meant to bounce across petrified dirt. Looks like another year without an award-winning lawn. It's a fine line between being a good citizen and a neighborhood annoyance.
As a small favor, let me ask that you ignore the petition that's going around seeking my eviction.

Hey at least we're not burning lawnmower gas and contributing to global warming which is directly responsible for hurricanes Katrina & Rita.

What I want to know is who thought that it was such a great idea to rake leaves, kill weeds and plant grass anyway? Why not just let nature do its own thing?
Seems like a big waste of time.

I sure hope you don't live in a neighborhood that has an association. They would tear you a new one so big you would have to clear your throat to fart. lol.
