We had a very hot summer this year and recently I decided to repair damage to the lawn in front of my house. I’ve had some success with it recently even though I started with seeding the bare spots.
A week ago I was watering the newly seeded and, essentially, watching the grass grow. I still had places where I wished I would have put down more seeds but, alas, I was out of seed. I looked up and coming toward me was a family with a young boy (maybe 13 years old) and his father pulling a wagon with a young child in it followed by mom. I greeted the family and asked them if they had any grass seed for sale, anticipating the inevitable pitch for some fund raiser. He said they had no grass seed but did have some pop corn that would be a good alternative. I said I still had 3 boxes from previous fund drives but could I just give a donation? He said sure and the youngster in the lead come over wearing his boy scout shirt and said the drive was for funds for his troop. I gave him five dollars, he thanked me and they went on their way. Just an all American scene, no problem.
