Yes, it happens every May. The lawn gets this odd look with patches of whitish, weedy looking grass growing. The good news is that is not a weed! It's the turf-grass plant flowering and producing seed.
The grass will get a little "stemmier" and possibly not look as full during this stage, but keep up your normal routine and it will be fine as the flowering ends and gets mowed off. Do keep your mower sharp because those stems are tougher than cutting grass blades!
By the way, don't count on the "seed" to do anything for the lawn. The seed would need to be harvested, dried, then seeded back into the soil. The flowers and seeds will simply compost themselves and add to the organic matter in your lawn.
