Oh my goodness, who knew that if you left a very large tarp on your lawn during the middle of the Summer to dry, that you would end up with a very large burn spot?! Apparently, everyone but Chris and I!! As the final part of putting our yard back together after the addition, we got mulch in our trailer to put in all of our flowerbeds. We had worked sooo dang hard trying to make our yard finally look nice. We finished spreading mulch everywhere and then sprayed off the HUGE tarp that we had borrowed. It was wet...so it made perfect sense to us to lay it out to dry! Chris left for work and a couple hours later I went to fold it up. I knew as soon as I lifted up the first corner that we were in trouble. It was burnt! That is one mistake you just cannot keep to yourself. I cannot even tell you how many comments we had to endure from our neighbors! Good thing we can laugh at ourselves! They all thought it was pretty hilarious. Gratefully it was not burnt at the roots, but only about 1/2 way down each piece of grass. It took a couple mowings, but the grass was finally back to normal. One of our neighbors told us it was all they could do to not sneak over during the night and paint a full sized basketball court on it!
I think we learned a very important lesson this Summer!!
