Judging some yards by the presence or absence of the sun spots among the green seems to me all about the timing.
If I look at a nice green lawn with golden flowers looks like a natural spring. A clean green slate may look better in the long run isn't how natural fields or prairies appear.
Less is more, though, when it comes to dandelions. A few add pizazz to the goulash of green. Too many and it tastes as someone poured a container of chili powder in the pot.
Yellow flowers are pretty one day, maybe two. But within a week, the flower is gone replaced soon by a burst of seeds looking to catch a flight.
Dandelion seed shadows are not so attractive over a lawn of green. And there lies the rub.
When we get in the weeds, we may enjoy it. We may find everything about them attractive. Maybe not that day, but soon, we see weeds for what they really are and call for pesticide.
Only the most healthy lawns can really be weed free. Those lawns have grass so thick the weeds can't penetrate the soil to germinate and grow.
Otherwise keeping our lawns green require constant vigilance in plucking and weeding to grab the invasive plant before the roots can go deep.
So it is with our precious grass. So it is with our hearts infested with sin. Thankfully, there is a more effective remedy for us than spraying more "weed be gone" at the problem.
