Summer Lawn Memories

Just want to take a moment to dedicate a post to all those wonderful memories we build and cherish that are associated with our lawns during the summer season of our beautiful northwest area.

Do you remember as a kid- running through the sprinklers in your shorts and slipping all over the wet and slippery grass?

Did you have a dog that couldn't wait for you to get home and when you did he'd knock you down onto the grass and lick your face with doggy slobber love?

Did you ever kick around a soccer ball as soon as the sun started coming out and end up falling and staining those jeans your mom just bought you?

Did you play tag with your friends and get tagged to hard that you fell- but got right back up after hitting the soft lawn laughing and running right back after everyone who yelled that you were "it"?

Do you still have all your crazy family members from around the states come up for a reunion of love, laughter, and arguing while lounging in lawn chairs?

Do you reminisce times laying there under the stars with thoughts of summer love floating through your mind?

Do you remember lying a towel down and falling asleep tanning only to be awakened by your younger sibling tickling your nose with the grass blades?

Are 4th of July barbecues with a blanket on the grass watching the fireworks at the neighbors still a tradition (and legal) in your area?

Do memories of bouncing on a trampoline before hopping off and resting on the grass bring back those same feelings of thrill?

My point is- there are so many memories associated with a lawn that we don't even realize and perhaps take for granted. So take care of your grass so you can enjoy the peaceful "being a kid" feeling when standing in your lawn and looking back at what you loved about your green yard when you were growing up.

PS: Please share any other specific memories you may have that are associated with a nice and green lawn. We'd love to see them
