Opus 2019-139: On the Street: Sun 1, Sprinkler 0

It is hot in Texas.  Okay, it is hot a lot of places.  It is called summer, or, if you are a liberal, climate change.  If it were a loaf of bread you would say it is browning up nicely.  One of the advantages of the seasonal system is that the grass has stopped growing, thus I don’t need to mow or feel guilty about not mowing.

I noticed as I have been out walking in the dawn’s early light that one of my neighbors has been using his sprinkler.  I notice this because I see it spewing water over his lawn.  What I don’t notice is that the grass is getting green.  In fact I can’t see any real difference between his yard and everyone else’s.  I think the sun is winning.  I would guess that the grass turning brown is a much a seasonal thing as a lack of water.

I will keep walking.  He may keep watering.  I know the sun will keep shining.  I expect to see green in a month or so.  More climate change.
