Every spring, I attempt to muster the energy to persuade my small yard to grow grass.  I have mixed feelings about this.  On the one hand, I want my lawn to look nice, because I like how nice lawns look.  I realize that's circular logic, but I can't seem to convince myself it's wrong.  On the other hand, when the grass grows, it means I'll need to cut it.  That makes about as much sense as putting snow on my driveway so I can shovel it.  Finally, there's the issue of where grass actually grows.  It seems to have no problem growing in the cracks in my sidewalk, or in the garden, or in the part of my driveway that's covered in stones.  I have no doubt it would grow on my deck or my roof if I put some seeds there.  But getting it to grow in my lawn is still an issue.  And I'm kind of ok with that.
