If only summer in Boston was *ALWAYS* like this ...
weather.com says it's 79°F and Verizon Time and Temperature says it's 83°F but it really feels more like 75°F. Bright blue skies; no humidity (they say it's 29% or so); and a lovely breeze. Nice to be able to air the house out and give the host of window A/Cs a break. (Though I know the electric bill will probably be myocardial-infarction-level.) Just sitting out on the back porch with our laptops and the Sunday paper and the dogs.
My little family:
The dogs and a whole lot o' dead grass:

What the hell is wrong with your grass, man?
1. No sun. We have trees. We'd rather have the trees.
2. Several years of dog-pee. Especially female dog-pee. The topsoil probably needs to be carted off and replaced and a lot of lime probably needs to be mixed with it to counter the acidity of the pee.
At least, that's my guess. Until I get a landscaper to come look at it. We've seeded and re-seeded and plowed and poked holes and aerated and dug and seeded and reseeded again and we do get some grass, but never in the center where it's darkest and probably where the most pee has been put down.
