wxeyeNH Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Unusual day today with the convection. It is coming from the SW but the anvils are blowing off to the SW. Usually the anvils come in before the precipitation but it is the other way around. Really nice towers too in the high humidity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids can still play on it, soccer balls roll just as well (though I doubt DIT lets anyone near it)… who cares what color it is except OCD folks. Functionally it does the same thing, gives space for kids to play, aside from that lawns are useless. Give me a meadow, attract some animals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very important that this non-native vegetation be in pristine shape all the time otherwise you are failing at life somehow. Lush green lawn desires started with George Washington. It’s the American dream from when his yard and house was painted and shown prominently as the pillar of wealth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your upslope .5 a day Like Dendy said, I don’t blame you necessarily, it’s the American way to care about a lawn. I grew up with my dad going apeshit over it, seemingly afraid people might judge him if it’s not perfect. Used to get yelled at for not having the dog piss in the same 3 foot circle growing up. My dad would walk the dog on pavement out to the town’s property next to ours before the dog could piss. Lawns are serious business, people attach a lot of self-worth to them. It would be interesting if polled the public and like 75% are like “I really don’t give a f*ck but I pour time and money into it so my neighbors don’t talk about me.” Collectively everyone might be ok just letting fields back in their neighborhoods lol. Most people who truly like growing things do plants, trees, gardens, etc. The lawn is a different reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to go across street and water neighbors stuff who is away. There’s been maybe 5 days all summer that hasn’t required me to water the garden . It all started with your damn Coc k in June . Now with less soil moisture than Death Valley. Days with dews in the mid 70’s delivers full sun and death. Thanks much 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
