the battle of the lawn has ended for us

I have spent many hours in my lifetime doing lawn care

Mowing grass twice a week in the summer

Watering during periods of drought

Fertilizing in the spring

A nicely manicured lawn looks so pretty

But its not meant to be like that

Natural grass should grow long and seed

It should go brown in the summer heat

Our desire to have that perfect putting green lawn

Commits us to a regime of constant care

Seeking and destroying every uninvited weed

It becomes a battle where you can never declare victory

We made a conscious decision in our current home

Purchasing a house in a golfing community

The HOA does all the landscaping and lawn care

The battle of the lawn has ended for us
