Lawns are Evil

Hyoi · 04-23-2007, 07:07 AM

Living in the Southwest, there are very few people who have lawns. We just can no longer afford the water......Cloud

I came very close to accepting a position with the drilling division of the Nuclear Test Facility near Las Vegas. If I had decided to live in the Vegas suburbs, I would have been condemned to an hour long bus ride every work day, so I decided to continue to suffer the Houston humidity. Every home I saw there had rock gardens instead of lawns, cacti, the whole bit, and they looked great to me. Of course, after the flight back my first chore was to mow the effing lawn.

Stupid me.

I think there's some grass in my lawn. Mostly its just various weeds. Some of them, I can identify. Others, I can't. We've got a good crop of dandelions growing in the front yard now.

Pretty yellow dandelions have gotten a bad rap, I say!
