Bay grass update #12: Sweet sounds of swaying grass

by | Apr 26, 2017 | RICHMOND NEWS

Hey ya’ll.

Richmond has a music scene. Did you know? Now you know. And it’s pretty wonderful. It seems like everyone is in a band nowadays, hunting for house shows and couches to crash on. If you’re not a musician in any capacity, you might feel a little left out. But that’s okay! Everyone has something different to bring to the table.

But that’s why it seemed a little unfair that my kids should be left out too. And yes, by kids I mean my grass. Not much has changed from last week’s update aside from a bit more length of the blades. Now in month four of the growing process, we’ve settled into a steady routine of daily watering and water pump-cleaning, as it should be. But I’m bored. I admire plants for doing what they do best and nothing else: be plants. But as human kind so loves to do, I want to impress upon nature what I would like it to do and be even though it did not ask. So I made it a playlist in case things were getting to be a little stale in there.

Enjoy such classics as “Grassy Grass Grass”, “Keep Off the Grass” and “Fascinating Grass”.

Happy listening!
