Playing baseball with your cousin.
Learning the fine art of throwing a Frisbee.
Running through the sprinklers on a hot summer day.Although the great lawn at our SJC home is the center of my Moonlight Garden, it gets a good workout in the summer from the grandkids who were here for a week. No pesticides or heavy fertilizers make it an ideal place to partake in a few of the childhood rituals that become childhood memories.
I'm with you on this - I know its teendy to pull up one's lawn and plant waterwise perenniels, but I do feel a home needs a small grass patch for kids to play on! Yours is lovely! I'm busy redoing mine - I hope it looks as good as yours really soon!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Nothing better than walking barefoot through a soft patch of grass. Your lawn looks nice and well cared for. The perfect spot to play, no matter your age!
ReplyDeleteDear Sheila, Your 'No-pesticides-or-heavy-fertilizers' lawn looks wonderful! Mine is full of Japanese stilt grass, all of a sudden. But I agree with you that a lawn is a necessity, especially with grandchildren. So I guess we'll just keep mowing the weeds. P. x
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with a lawn if it gets used!
ReplyDeleteIt's the ones that don't that are the waste. Lovely post. Nothing happier than happy kids.
Your lawn looks wonderful! My lawn takes such a beating with my 4 sons. Everynow and then I ban them from playing on it to give it time to recover! x Sharon
