Randy has worked very hard on our yard this spring. He finally has gotten grass to grow between our front sidewalk and the street. He used a bobcat and moved and rearranged dirt. And he roped everything off and planted grass. He watered and babied that grass. Since neither of us really has a green thumb it is a miracle that the grass actually came up and looks great! It is bright green and getting thicker every day.
A couple of days ago we noticed some utility flags in our yard. And then yesterday - red spray paint on the grass. A call to our local utility company confirmed what we already knew.
The utility company is digging up our yard to repair a water leak. Perfect timing. NOT!
However, it is a perfect time for me to practice my cognitive therapy. My life seems to give me plenty of opportunities to change my perspective. So, I will not overgeneralize. This is not one in a series of never ending miserable patterns in my life.

Oh! I kid. It's only grass and it's not that big of deal. What I'm unsure of is if we could ever get grass to grow again! I think it was just a fluke that it actually came up this year since the past three years we've had no such luck.
On the bright side - Randy is convinced that this will increase the water pressure in our old house. Ever the optimist - that guy is.

I think for all your pain and suffering, the city should install an underground sprinkler system free of charge while they are digging up your beautiful lawn!
