Hours and hours I spent toiling in our front yard attempting to grow grass. I had a vision of a lush soft lawn, perfect for a mini picnic or mini mini slip n' slide or... not. In anycase, my vision did not come to pass. At first little shoots of fresh grass sprung up everywhere! It was so exciting, but the first rain storm took a good toll- wiping out my crops. Then, our trip to california left the poor lawn parched and it never quite recovered. Finally, to top it all off... last week verizon came and destroyed what was left of my little lawn to instal fiberoptic cables. Hmph.
So, now what should I do? I've heard that now is the time to re-seed. But man. It seemed to take way too much energy for nothing in the first place!! Maybe I'll find the motivation this labor day weekend. Wish me luck!

You can do it! You can make grass grow again!
WUBBA!
Your grass was so cute... At least Verizon better hook you guys up with that fiberoptic cable or else! ~shakes fist.~
Did you replant on Labor Day?
I feel for you. Our teeny plot of land has had a hard year, too. You (we) think its growing strong and then the dog pees on it. Then you (we) forget to water it. Then it dies. Okay so it's our own fault. At least you can point the finger at Verizon!
