I also laughed that my lawn guy stopped by to aerate the grass and I told him, "You're doing a great job. My lawn is a complete dustbowl out front and in the back. There is no grass, so I don't know why you're bothering."
I'm not going to water. This is the northeast, and I'm sorry we're in a drought, but I'm not swamping the yard with high water bills. Comes what may, I say. for now, I'll take the dust. It's insane.
And there's a rumor it is supposed to rain this afternoon. We shall see. We all definitely need it. Connecticut is excessively thirsty right now.
Bring on the floods.
