  • Because of my grass freakiness....

    Alright, alright...so I became a bit obsessed with my overly-weedy, patchy lawn this summer. I tried to harness the energy into more....useful endeavors, but always came back to that blasted lawn. So....against the better advice of my husband, parents...and Jennifer Hussey, who wanted me to do some gardening with plants indigenous to MN, I set out on another weed-blasting attack.



    I set out with my little spray gun and sprayed a large portion of the front lawn and the side lawn all the way down on the left side...including the neighbor's lawn. You see.. , our weeds had grown into their grass and I wanted to do them a favor...you know...get rid of the nasty weeds that I had imposed upon them....



    Unfortunately, I chose not to read the label of the bottle (heck, why head off disaster ) and you should all know that I have been taught a rather unfortunate lesson about my weedy impetuousness. The spray that I chose actually kills everything including grass...which means that it not only killed a large percentage of my front yard.....yes, yes...you guessed it...it also killed a portion of my neighbors front and back yard. These are people that have the lawn care company come to take care of their lawns I am dying of embarassment. I have apologized like it is going out of style, but I can't get over it I'm sure that they are more than slightly annoyed by my...attempts.



    So..next time I listen to everyone and leave well enough alone...well, once I get the seeds all to germinate that I've planed across my entire front yard.



    Aren't you GLAD you aren't my neighbor!

    Kris,

    I would love to have you as a neighbor, I would do something just like you did!!!! I would make a pitcher of Mango Margueritas, invite you over and have a good laugh. Life is to short!

      And now you know why I think grass is always a BAD idea!

        Maybe you could give your neighbors some pretty flowers to make up for your gaffe? It was funny, though embarrassing.
