swath of destruction......

ok, so.......there is a swath of dead and dying grass down the edge of our property........that matches the deadzone that is my mother's yard, and our across-the-road neighbor's yard........coincidence, you ask?.....why no.....our neighbor kindly offered to apply a broadleaf weedkiller.....that turned out to kill more than just broadleaf weeds.......our main lawn was spared only because it consists almost totally of weeds.......our neighbor is really upset about his mistake, because he is into lawncare...the decision has been made to wait until fall to resew grass seed, because new lawns require significant watering, and watering grandma's acre alone would require sigificant resources....and physical labor......which means that nobody from our household will have to mow grandma's yard, or our strip by the road.......the entire summer.....the downside is that the grass is yellow on its way to brown.....good thing none of us smoke.....or there would be an old-style prairie fire........
