Love Thursday: Lawn
Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 01:34PM
Even though the poor little grass blades were folding up and leaning over, we held off until today to water our lawn because some sources said it was supposed to rain. (Chortle, chortle, Austin-in-June.)
One of my favorite things about summer is placing the water sprinklers in the yard. Some of summer's best sensual treats are the tick-tick-tick, the soaked-wet pants leg from trying to get the spray just right, the sound inside the house of stray droplets slapping the siding when the wind blows.
Did I mention that I really love this new lens? I love seeing every single drop of water flying out to feed the lawn. (The sunlight looks like I waited too late to put the sprinklers out but I promise, that's just what it looks like in Texas during the summer any time after 7 a.m.)
I haven't yet run through a sprinkler this summer. That definitely needs to happen.
