The Yard Dog

I am a yard guy. I like to plant something, give it periodical care, and proudly watch it thrive. Which is why the thin spot in the grass at the corner of my driveway has driven me bonkers for the eleven years we have lived here. I have de-thatched it, aerated it, over-seeded it, fertilized it, limed it, treated it for diseases and fungus, and still it remained sparse.

But no more. Spring is sprung, and for the first time ever the spot is a thick carpet of shitty green lushness. But damn, what I wouldn’t give now to have that thin spot back?

It seems that Josey Wales has gone and taken her waiting spot with her.
