Did it make your Mama cry?

We had a bike rodeo at church this morning. Report is that 2 kids talked about it all the way home. They wished they could "stay to ride all day, take short breaks for snacks, and then camp at church so they could get up and ride again to Sunday school". I think it was a success. :D
I’m just trying (again) to get grass going in my backyard. It was going ok this summer until I was gone for a lot of July, and the back and forth of no rain/way too much rain mostly did it in.
We’ll see how this batch does. I may need professional help!
My weed problem is in the parts of my yard in ground cover. English ivy, winter creeper, ground ivy, honeysuckle, and celandine put up an incessant onslaught!

I just got back from running a virtual 5k. I did the running, the race part was virtual. My fitbit tells me I finished it in (for me) a blistering 38:47. I haven't run in a month, very happy with the result. I drove out to Medway so I could knock another town off my list. I think that makes 49. I'll double check.
Which is why I wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze. No HOA but a few Hank Hill style lawn kings in the area, including one that gets a little saucy if my service forgets to hit the edges with the blow turned in.
We’re rural. I mean, it’s a nice enough neighborhood but everyone is on a few acres, few folks have horses so it ain’t exactly the local gated McMansion golf course community and I’m inclined to a light (and cheap) touch on lawn maintenance. Thanks
I live in a neighborhood zoned R-4, so at least 1/4 acre per homesite. So, lawn quality is very visible. A few of my neighbors have golf course quality lawns. I live in between perhaps the two most weed infested yards in the neighborhood. I maintain the area between my house and one neighbor, so that side is in decent shape. I handle the lawn, he handles the large plant that sits on his yard but obscures the transformer that is mostly in my yard. I have quite a bit of revamping to do if I want to put the house on the market some time next year. Unfortunately, the lead times are that long.
I squandered a 401(k)
You didn't plant from one of those random Chinese seed packs, did you? :)
