Winterize your lawn
I’ve created a Burma Shave-style set of signs to illustrate the Winterize Your Lawn story.
For you young-uns:
Burma Shave advertised its products in the 1920s through the early 1960s by posting a series of signs along highways that relayed a humorous rhyming message you could read as your drove by. One example using six signs:
“Hardly a driver / Is now alive / Who passed / On hills / At 75 / Burma-Shave.”
The following story doesn’t rhyme and won’t be able to be read as drivers drive by, but it’s perfect for walkers passing by your yard. Make sure you arrange it so it reads sequentially from the direction most walkers tend to walk by your yard.
