Lawns

Although I like Deers, I prefer a 52 Farmall Cub. But if you like lawns so much, I have about 2 acres in PA, feel free. My opinion is this... We have a small lawn on the lake that we recently tried to reseed. We were unsucessful. So the moss and roots will take their orginal shape, God forbid. During my youth ( only a few years ago), I attended Camp Belknap. They are diligently working to maintain the natural beauty around camp's shore for future generations. Much mention has been made to the idea of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for homes and wishing they had lucious green lawns. To me, this view is near-sighted. How wonderful a place this lake would be if my grandchildren (about 100 years away) were able to enjoy this place as I have been. We would be silly if we didn't believe that the only constant is change. However, we are all being very selfish if we do not try to preserve this precious piece of nature for future generations. Many ask for proof that their actions are causing harm. Alot of people were asking to see the PROOF of a terrorist attack before 9-11. Obviously not on the same level, but a thought just he same.
