Since there is no doubt an overload of stories and blog postings about how miserable it is outside I decided to post about a positive effect of this heat and drought.
I haven’t had to mow my lawn for a month. Since we decided that watering was nothing but a waste of water our lawn has entered into a dormant, albeit brown, stage. Some of our neighbors have automatic sprinkler systems. They are still cutting their grass, though even those yards are still a little less verdant than they’d be if we had a little rain.
Brown is beautiful.
