Awesome REECE comment...

Boise had the CRAZIEST lightning storm tonight. I can't remember ever seeing lightning bounce from one cloud to the next like it did tonight. It was beautiful and lasted for over an hour. Reece and Benson had been in bed for over an hour and Benson was sound asleep, but Reece was still reading. I was working on my blog book when Reece came running in the room yelling with much excitement "Mom, I just saw big lightning". We went and sat on his window sill and watched it for about 20 minutes. After about 5 minutes he said,

"Mom, if the lightning hits our dead grass, it will catch on fire".

I about wet my pants. We are happy to report we didn't have to make any 911 calls tonight--
but I'm shocked it missed the glowing lawn!

Oh, one more thing....I just got a letter from our HOA giving us a violation. This is what it said:

Violation: noxious use of property

Explanation: it appears the lawn is dead due to lack of not being watered.

Again, I laughed and sent an "explanation" to the HOA!
