Our Poor Yard!!!

In a matter of TWO DAYS our backyard went from wonderful to DEAD! Of all the people to have a dead backyard...we work in it, fertilize it, love it...and it DIES! Now (whatever it is) is moving up the side yard to the front. NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Maxey tried burning it off, but the smoke was really bad.

The dove family living in the basket on our patio freaked out!!
Plus, I was afraid the fire department would be called by some of our neighbors.

THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE!

So we went to Lowe's and bought a thatching blade. Maybe after it's thatched, we can burn it without so much attention-getting smoke.

The yard is a total loss!! I hope we can keep whatever is killing it  from taking the rest of our lot.

It's a sad sight that's for sure. I hate it so much for both of you, but certainly for Maxey. Boo :(
