Location: In front of East House
Time: 11:40-1200 hours
Weather: Cloudy

In front of east house, the grass is very sparse. Mud pokes up through the grass in several places, and the yard is slick. There is a meager barrier of hedges and trees dividing East house from the street. As such, the yard is probably drenched in exhaust and other pollutants resulting from the many cars that drive by every day. This could be a major facton in the grass growing so little in the yard. Exhaust and pollutants from cars are a factor that is impossible to ignore, because they so often kill plants and animals that are exposed to it.
