[Thursday August 30th]
In the warm and rain filled late-summer of Neenah, there is a little known ecosystem. The Tropical Rain-Lawn. It lays dormant much of the summer as the annual drought keeps it hibernated. As the Monsoon season kicks in, the rain-lawn comes to life and grows at amazing speed. It growth speed almost exceeds the walking pace of a South American Sloth (A Sloth typically travels a mere 6 inches a minute!). It is not uncommon that in a few short days the lawn can grow upwards of 9 inches... The larger mammals inhabiting this ecosystem participate in regular 'reclamation' of the rain-lawn keeping the ecosystem in balance...
A big THANK YOU goes out to Debbie & Jeff! It has been raining quite a lot back home in Neenah and the lawn has been growing like crazy! Debbie and Jeff volunteered to come out to the house, and bring their riding lawn mower, to help Anna cut the lawn. Thats a huge help, thanks guys!
