Yes, we have achieved lawn. It's a bit scraggly, there are some morning glories that need to go away, and it's in dire need of edging... but it's a lawn! Revel in the green lushness of my yard. Marvel at the change from dirt to grass. Be amazed! Yes, I am thrilled about grass. This is the most excitement I get lately. Enjoy!

Oh so slowly, grass is growing. I have to water 3 times a day, especially now that it's getting warmer. I have to set alarms on my phone, or I will forget and my poor grass will dry up. So far, it's working well. [caption id="attachment_493" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Slowly growing grass"] [/caption] All the white specks you see in the dirt are elm seeds. The trees here are going nuts. My allergies haven't been too bad (I'm allergic to elm trees, of course), but I've spent most of my time inside. I will be glad when they are finished with whatever it is trees do to reproduce. I also hope that the grass grows faster than the baby elm trees, and I can mow before the entire yard is taken over by elms. I'm constantly hacking down elms that get established along the foundation of my house. It's damn near impossible to get rid of them... I chop them down, and they just come back. Roundup only seems mildly effective. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to comment. I'm really beginning to hate them.

We have grass. I repeat, we have grass. The sad thing is that this has made me realize that my life is so boring that I am getting excited about watching grass grow, and I'm blogging about it. I don't mind it, but I just wonder why anyone even reads this thing. This must be the most boring blog on the internet. Oh well, it could be worse, I suppose it could be the craziest blog on the internet.
