The Grass is always greener...


The grass is greener over there. I believe this same phenomena accounts for why a sandwich with the exact same ingredients tastes better when someone else makes it.

Green grass is the American dream. Except for here where we wanted weed free planting beds. In the top soil we got from a local supplier there were grass seeds. Now that we've used 20 yards to mulch areas of the front yard, we're going to have to cover with cardboard and mulch again. Alternatively, since the grass is tiny with small roots, it can be disturbed with a rake or hoe so it doesn't get a foot hold.

For Lois, the dead grass across the street looks better than the live grass in her newly mulched yard, showing that even when the grass here is greener, it's still not as green as over there!
