Fun in the Grass




































According to AmericanLawns.com there are a lot of different grasses that you might like to plant based on your geography and the season. Some of them include Buffalograss, Bahia, St. Augustine, Bermuda, Zoysiagrass and Fine-Leaf Fescue. I don’t know what kind my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are growing in Texas but, whatever it is, it has great color and the lawn provided a relaxing place to laugh and play with my daughter as we waited for a taxi to take us to the airport. Even waiting can be fun!


Three Grass Ideas for Today or This Weekend:

1) Find a lawn at your house or in the neighborhood park – lay down, smell it, feel it, close your eyes and take a few deeeeeeep breaths … you will feel more relaxed ... ahhhhhh.

2) Get a blanket and have a picnic on the grass nearest you. Gourmet, PB & J or your favorite fast food will do.


3) Visit a big stretch of lawn and take some fun family pictures. Dance, make a pyramid, make faces or lay down and create a circle with your heads before having the person with the longest arms take the picture from above! Be creative … what else could you do for a spontaneous family photo collage?
