I've learned that the lawn is just one part of your home that earns bragging rights. My competitive nature drives me to have the best lawn on my street. The photo above is from May 2007 -- when I started to dream of a thick green carpet of grass.
This photo was taken this morning. A little TLC has earned me a spot in the top three. My neighbor even took note of my success and shouted out over the fence that separates our backyard, "lawn's looking good." Sure is, buddy. Sure is.
