LAZZY OR NUTS???

A guy down the street has painted his front yard green! Ugly, Rustoleum green. It looks bizarre. Most of us just let them turn brown till the rains come. Maybe he was an NFL grounds keeper before.

A few of my neighbors have artificial turf. It's a lovely shade of plastic. Drove down the street once and saw a woman vacuuming her yard with a Hoover. Had to do a double take on that one. The rest mostly keep their grass pretty green all summer despite the high cost of watering here.

This summer has been weird, though. Way more rain than usual, and the temps have only reached 100 a couple of times. I measured about 10 inches in my backyard for July. That's usually pretty close to what we get in an entire year.

There's this ONE neighbor whose yard man starts mowing at 5am every Monday morning like clockwork. Yep - mowing in the dark.

We get a massed leaf blower band across the street at 0700 every Thursday.

...a massed leaf blower band ....

Love that one! I get one next door whenever the six man lawn crew swoops in and does the whole job - unload, edge, cut, blow, load and depart literally in a cloud of dust - in about 15 minutes. Their choreography and noise is comparable to carrier flight ops. For comparison, it takes me more than an hour just to cut.
