"Downy Softness"
By Cheryl Harwell Bailey

As my grandson walks barefoot on our clover lawn, my mind goes immediately to my childhood in hot summertime "Kern County" California. My family always had soft "Dicondra" Grass. It was a bright carpet of green, tiny, clover-like blades, lives only in hot climate, and needs no mowing. Like velvet under our bare feet. Here in the "South" we have real "Clover" budding out everywhere, so hence ...... a scrumptious lawn pollinating with bees and butterflies. As cushy as a down-filled nest. No pesticides, no human effort (nature only), no cost. Only sunshine, rain & bare feet required. Soft, Short, Round Grass. HEY!!! Isn't that a description of me?
