So, you’ve finished edging and mowing the yard in the 90 degree heat, and you’re happy to have that chore out of the way. You grab a bottle of water and ease into the chair on the front porch to admire your handiwork. Despite the watering restrictions, the lawn looks pretty darned good. You swing your gaze across the manicured grass and…what’s this?!
That, my friend, is evidence of a job gone tragically wrong, a symbol of everything that’s wrong with society today, a reminder that man lives in a fallen state.
Or, it could just mean that I had sweat in my eyes and pushed the mower around like a drunken sailor.
Nothing that a pair of hand-clippers couldn’t fix, of course.

That’s “hider grass”. They lay low, and then the sound of an small engine directly overhead causes them to spring up. I’ve got that in my yard. Not many people know of this.
That’s as good an explanation as I’ve heard. Thanks for clueing me in; I’ll know what to look for next time.
