"Who'll Stop the Rain?"

The yard looks like a bloomin' rain forest. Thanks to the high humidity and thunderstorms over the past month, the plant life in our yard has gone completely nuts.


I think we've received 19.7 inches of rain at my house since Sunday, and this afternoon a duck knocked on my door and asked for a towel.

I love rain. Really. Nothing like Mother Nature giving you the day off from outdoor stuff that you might like, but would like a break from, too.

I try to mow the lawn at least once each week. In the spring, I do it it about every 5 days. Recently, I could do it every 2-3 days. I'm not complaining. I like mowing the lawn. It only takes an hour, but this season I can't seem to keep up. Yesterday, the kids from across the street ran across my lawn and I needed to go to a second floor window in order to find them.

I should back off on the Turf Builder.

So, to answer those that have said, "I wish that guy would just dry up."

Hey, I'm trying.
