Observe:

And this…

Those are my neighbor’s houses and beautiful lawns.
I pity them.
They live next door to me.

Now, remember that I am a lowly paid teacher at a private school.
I have no money for a new yard.
A representative from a fertilizer company once knocked at my door and made presidential-worthy promises to fix my lawn. I blogged about it here.
His promises were in vain.
My yard still looks like crap.
I’ve given up…for the time being…until the amount of moolah in my paycheck increases.
However, the other day when I went into the yard to pull weeds from the front flower beds, I noticed something…


Can you see it?
If you look closely, you’ll notice that the good grass from my neighbors’ yards is spreading to my yard!!!
So, I have a new plan.
Rather than waiting for my paycheck to get fatter, which could take forever given the economy, I figure that I can just bide my time and let my neighbors’ yards take over mine!
It should only take about ten years or so.
Of course, I’ll have to dodge the homeowner’s association, but it’s made up of mostly old people, so I should be able to outrun them.
