Lawns

A beautiful lush green lawn requires ample time and resources. Why waste water and money on a carpet of green? This question regularly baffles me. That same water could be hydrating nutritious produce or gorgeous flowers.

Lawns and the various perils that could lead to its demise were topics of conversation at driveway parties in middle class suburbia. When one neighbor fired up their lawn mower it triggered a chain reaction until the whole street was on board. I have a jphoto that shows four lawns being mowed at once

I thought this lawn mowing infectiousness was middle class silliness. However I was with my family in a low-income neighborhood where the lawns were neglected. Perhaps the residents have more pressing problems than pretty little flowers that dot brown lawns. Yet when my family commenced an ambitious lawn revitalization project a neighbor followed suit that very night.
