I had to mow the lawn this morning. The grass was not long - it has barely grown since I mowed last week. In fact, I think I know Crayola's secret as to where they got the term "burnt orange." They took a look at people's yards in July in Kansas City and that is the color they saw, which is what yards are starting to look like around here right now.
Except we are in Minnesota, and it is only June, and we are already having the hottest and driest summer I can recall in years, which is just fine with me (although not so much the farmers I live around. Especially the one I live with, who would like rain Right Now.) Oh. I digress.
