Even though it’s 90° at my house, I spent the last couple of hours mowing the lawns. Thank goodness for John Deere. I remember when it took me almost 4 hours, just to mow. Then I found the pleasure of a riding lawn tractor. It’s the simple things in life, isn’t it?
It’s probably a waste of time, but now I’m pouring the water to the front yard. It’ll probably scorch the fescue and cause the crab grass to grow. Damn crab grass. After I cool down some, I’ll head to Home Depot to see what spray is available to kill that crap. I’ve tried weed killer, but all that seemed to do was feed the crab grass. It has spread even more. Short of nuking it with Roundup, I’m not sure what to do. Hopefully the home experts will have an idea or two, or a flame thrower.
Unlike living in the backwoods of Oklahoma, one of the disadvantages of living in the city is you have to keep the lawns cut and weeds kept to a minium or else the neighbors start talking about you. I know that’s a fact because I talk about my neighbors and their lack of yard care all the time. I blame them for the weed growth in my yards. Another disadvantage of living in the city is occasional gun shots. I’m almost positive some of the gunfire is due to someone’s neighbor and their crappy yard. Not that I’d ever think of doing something like that. Okay, I’d think about it, but I wouldn’t actually do it.
Since I’ll be giving my next paycheck to the water department, do you think the neighbors would mind if I stripped to my Superman boxers and ran through the sprinkler? Such fun! Remember doing that to cool off on a hot summers day when you were a kid? Or as an adult when you were drunk and your ex-best friend dared you to do it?
Ahhhh, the memories.
