I think we are expected to get some decent rain this week from the tropical storm, and I'm sure all vegetation will be thankful!

In fact, many of my trees have already begun turning brown, bypassing gold and red. My lawn? Dead, dead, dead. Of course I wouldn't want the rain Fay is bestowing on Florida, but a good drench would be welcome.

Once a month or so is fine by me as well, lol. Lisa, I can probably just about count on one hand the number times I’ve mowed my yard this season! Once a month or so is fine by me as well, lol.

When my husband moved to Roanoke last summer, he was convinced it just never rains here. It's been much better this year. But I'm all for not mowing. :) Doesn’t feel like a drought to me either.
