Your Lawn is a Living Thing.

   Most of you city folks and you country folks can ignore today's post but, you may someday end up in the suburbs, so you might stick with me. The lawn care is a hidden feature of suburban life I had forgotten about when I returned to my childhood home a few years back to reclaim my spot in suburbia.
   My first mistake. My front lawn is more than than a place to park my cars. It must be a source of pride, not a tire rutted mudhole. My second mistake. Backyard bonfires. When day breaks and there is large scorched circle in your backyard, as there is this morning ; I should have taken all that stuff to the dump instead of burning it.
   I won't go on and on. Don't beat yourself up. A lawn is like a bad haircut. It will grow back. You must learn to care about your lawn. Good lawn habits aren't a genetic thing. When we were nomadic hunters, we didn't give a hoot about how the tundra looked.
