So as most of you know, I'm in the middle of a complete renovation and the lawn has looked like light toast for the better part of two weeks now. I'm out on the deck tonight grilling up some chicken fajitas and my neighbor pops her head over the fence.

"Hey, Rob.....how did you get your yard to do that?"

"Do what?"

"To all go dormant like that. I wish our yard would go dormant...."

"But I didn't..."

"....because it's just such a waste of money to keep a yard green all summer. If we stop watering, the weeds pop up like crazy..."

"But mine isn't dormant....it's dead. I killed it"

*Silence*

"Why did you do that?"

And then you know the rest of the conversation with that spacey look in their eyes...yeah...I love it!

New business idea for someone out there...come up with the magical "Spray me on your yard to make it look dead" potion. HAHA
