I'm gonna set my lawn on fire

Yes, you heard me right. I'm going to do a controlled burn in my front yard and all three of my backyards. I don't know how many of you have been on 287 between Dumas and Amarillo, but personally, I'm there twice a day Monday through Friday. Now, back to the point. Have any of you noticed the dozen or so burned patches on that stretch of road? Well, while everything else is dry, brittle, yellow, hay like dead grass the places that have been burned have brand new green green baby grass growing in it's place. I mean, we haven't even had any moisture to promote the growth of new grass so it's got to be the fact that it was burned, don't ya think? Well then, it seems only logical to start a fire on my lawn. I don't know, now that I think about it it might cost more money to replace my sprinkler system than it would be for me to just pay some one to come lay sod. Who knows. I guess I'll just revert to watering and hope my grass gets as green as the burned out patches are. And, I would like to state for the record that I am jealous that's it's not me going on a cruise and visiting Mickey Mouse's house AND getting offered a job that woud more than double my salary. I'll slink back to my hole and cry.
