Let me be the first

I'm ready for warm weather… from 60s to mid-80s…. too soon… I don't mind it Hot. Just not so fast!

Y'all sound like my Ole Lady:
"It's too cold, it's too hot, it's too windy, it's too cloudy, it's too sunny waaa waaa waaa........."

"Just hold me........"

That 2 week long Spring was wonderful. Can't believe it's already Summer...

It was not cold enough. Not enough snow. Not enough winter.

Yep. Wouldn't mind if summer decided to top off at about 70*F for a few years.

I whole heartily agree. Summer can come and go in a week, and I'd be happy. I hate mowing....as much as anything else that comes with summer.

I have realized that while I like the idea of having a back and front yard, I really really really hate the reality of having one. I hate to work in the yard. Hate it.

Was 80 in my house when I went to bed last night. Needless to say it took a long time to fall asleep. I think the bedroom AC will be going in today after work.

For that exact reason I'm going to do away with a front "lawn" when my wife and I buy our own house and install raised bed gardens. Maintaining a lawn is downright stupid in my opinion. We'd be much better off growing our own veggies and literally enjoying the fruits of our labor. At least tending to a raised bed is WAY easier and it's something that I actually enjoy doing. I'll probably do the same to the majority of the back yard too, with a small section of grass for our daughter to play in.

Grass does not grow well in such an arid environment. In rainy environments (midwest, east coast, northwest, most of the south) grass grows so well that it chokes out other weeds and maintaining it consists of relatively little work. Here, you have to spend money and commit a lot of energy just to keeping it alive. I have about 1,000 sq ft of grass behind my patio and the rest of the back and all of the front yard is xeriscaped. The only reason I have any grass is for the kid and dog to play on.
