According to the calendar, today is the summer solstice, the official first day
of summer. Of course this is hard to believe in this two-season area, where
we've already had a couple of heat waves.
In conjunction with the beginning of summer, it looks like I now have a mostly-dead (apologies to Miracle Max) front-lawn, as a majority of it is now brown grass. When the guys were working on the roof on Friday, they tossed all the old shingles onto the lawn. They cleaned them up before departing, and the lawn looked fine at the time, so as far as I'm able to tell this isn't from shading the lawn... it seems more like the shingles were poisonous to grass, as where ever they touched has died over the following couple of days. Needless to say, I am unhappy, though I'm not exactly sure there's much of anything besides complaining (and I thank you for indulging me here) I can do about this.
