Like manna from Heaven
This morning at about 10:30 I got about $85 worth of rain. That’s total coverage mind you. Then around noon, about another $30 s’worth fell from the sky. I was prepared to let the grass go for the year. Almost made it through the summer. But another week without rain, and the yard is a big brown spot.
It was hit and miss. Thousands of dollars worth of rain was falling all around but we were just on the edges once again. Not that I was complaining. The $115 worth I got in the few minutes it rained was enough to probably get me well into Sept without total devastation. Then, of a sudden, several hundreds of dollars worth of water fell on my lawn right out of the air.
I could still use a couple of hundred dollars more water to make the lawn lush, but I’ll just have to wait until God gives it away for free again. Once we get out of the extreme August heat, it’ll be smooth sailing through the mild winter and into next spring. See, the deal is, if you don’t lose your grass in the late summer, you got a good head start on your crop of turf next spring. You lose it, and you got a lot more work next spring to get your lawn in to shape for the summer season of sun and fun. Either way, next spring there’s gonna be more grass.
