Been dry here for a month. Rain all around, but hardly a drop on my yard. <\/p>\n

At the low end of the yard, there’s a broad ditch, home to small catfish and more than a few mosquitoes. Sprayed some Roundup on the weeds on the shore, and it seems that someone mixed the Roundup with some Miracle Grow.<\/p>\n

That is a dandelion. It’s about 6′ tall. <\/p>\n

My grass is dead, and in it’s place grows some tall weed that make the lawn look as if it has hair. Thinning hair. The only thing that seems to be thriving are the weeds, and in a few minutes, I’m gonna go outside and thrash the weeds down, mow the lawn’s hair. I’m gonna try not to dehydrate as I do. I know, I’ll blame it all on “global warming” and get a gummint grant to pay to have my lawn watered!<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong> -For Jim:
\nNo, it’s not a dandelion. I just went out and grabbed a couple heads off:<\/p>\n
