I stare out into the green expanse of rolling hills that lies in front of me. There is a line of trees just beyond the strips of barbwire that outline the fields and prevents any of the horses from venturing any farther than their limits. Little chunks of horse hair dangle from the fence. Many horses like to use the fence as a good place to satisfy an itch. The grass in this field is patchy in places where the horses have too heavily munched, and the remains of these meals dot the otherwise bright green pasture with brown. In the heat of the day swarms of nats will completely encompass these mounds and create clouds of blinding buzzing bugs when disturbed. Dandelions and other beautifully colored weeds that are scattered on the earth, dance in the soft morning breeze. Dew on the grass sparkles as rays of golden sun reflect on them. By the gate where I am standing is an old tub that looks like it was used in the 1920s to bathe the duke of some far off country. It sits upon four chipped bricks and Is filled three quarters of the way to the top with grimy water. The surface of the water is littered with floating pieces of pre-chewed hay and an unfortunate fly that decided to take a swim and drowned. The water almost has a dingy green tint to it, due to the slick slime that has covered the entire bottom of the…

Burdette. According to Devin Kowalczyk “The activity theory occurs when individuals engage in a full day of activities and maintain a level of productivity to age successfully(n.d.).” Mr. Burdette is very active and always on the go. Every week he goes to church, to the gym, to two different family members houses to cut grass, and works on cars or lawn mowers. He did not feel like he did the same thing every day because something was always different. He mentioned that he gets phone calls…

Athletes are constantly being asked which they prefer: artificial turf or natural grass. They want the ideal playing surface to compete on, which was the logic behind inventing artificial grass, but what people don’t know are the disadvantages that are associated with artificial grass. After researching the downsides to turf, I read about a study that states that seventy-one percent of injuries on turf are traumatic injuries and the other 29% are for overuse injuries. This includes both…

dollars? Most homeowners prefer a front yard and a backyard with beautiful green grass. Unfortunately, that green lawn can cost a lot of money, every year to keep it green. Homeowners who would like to save as much money as possible, should install astroturf. Astroturf can be costly when it is first installed, but astroturf lasts for around 15 years or more. It is well-crafted, saves gardening fees, and makes the environment a healthier and cleaner place! Say goodbye to those lawn mowers…

Hard Work Teaches. “Let's go!” We’re starting the job. There is the constant smell of cut grass. It's one of those smells that you never get used to. It is always haunting and can smell either good or bad. If it's fresh, cut grass will smell satisfying, but if it's old and stagnant, then the smell can be so overpowering and abusive to the point where it makes you want to throw up. However, your average person doesn't always have to deal with this struggle. I've grown up as a…

is beautiful, and depending on the day, there are few clouds in sight. The sun shines perfectly onto the stone so a perfect photo can be generated. Then you wonder what the selfie would look like if they were still here. How many would be taken? Where would they be living? Would they still live in the same mint green house on Division that they used to? Rustling comes from the bushes and the trees. Looking back, there’s deer with their baby. They leave fresh, deer prints on the wet and muddy…
