Over the past 4-5 years several patches of what I now know is St. Augustine grass or buffalo grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) have become “established” in the front and back lawns.

I like it, but it’s appearance stands out from the other grass varieties in the yard as in the example below:

Like my approach for most of the yard and gardens, I’ll just let it go and see what happens — it’s like clicking the “surprise me” box to choose the next movie to watch on a streaming service. In the case above, the competition is on between mock strawberries (Potentilla indica), red fescue (Festuca rubra), and St. Augustine grass — let nature decide…

Done

A simple definition of a time-based economy is one in which all participants (no exceptions) receive their basic needs and opportunities for a reasonable quality of life in exchange for an accounting of one’s time and recording of what one is thinking, saying, and doing.

Quoted

The Bahá’ís must not engage in political movements which lead to sedition. They must interest themselves in movements which conduce to law and order. In Persia at the present time the Bahá’ís have no part in the revolutionary upheavals which have terminated in lawlessness and rebellion. Nevertheless, a Bahá’í may hold a political office and be interested in politics of the right type. Ministers, state officials and governor-generals in Persia are Bahá’ís, and there are many other Bahá’ís holding governmental positions; but nowhere throughout the world should the followers of Bahá’u’lláh be engaged in seditious movements. For example, if there should be an uprising here in America having for its purpose the establishment of a despotic government, the Bahá’ís should not be connected with it. 1
