into every life....

A little rain in Greensboro last night; and that's a good thing. It's too late for the plot of dirt that I used to call my front yard. Even the weeds have abandoned my little corner of real estate.

Summer started off with plenty of rain - no need for sprinklers. When it all dried up, I refrained from watering because I was trying to be a good citizen. My neighbors might say that I was just ready to be done with mowing season, but that's just a rumor.

I'm afraid to aerate this season for fear of jarring my fillings loose. Those aerators aren't meant to bounce across petrified dirt. Looks like another year without an award-winning lawn.

It's a fine line between being a good citizen and a neighborhood annoyance. As a small favor, let me ask that you ignore the petition that's going around seeking my eviction.
