The jungle...
My lawn is offically out of control. So if you recall a few posts back I wrote about how I wanted to be that guy whose lawn looked like the green at the 18th hole at Pebble Beach. I can safely say that dream is slipping away, as my lawn is now looking like it has aspirations to become a jungle. The last week has consisted mainly of rain pouring down on , with mother nature doing her best impression of a drunk guy who has broken the seal and can't hit the can to save his life. Needless to say, while we have been cowing in our house trying to stay dry, the grass has been drinking up the rain, and growing like crazy. I needed to mow all week, but with the rain arriving every day around 4, I can now easily see how explorers in the rain forest could have gotten lost, because if my grass can grow as fast as it is, I can only imagine what a real jungle would do. I think it is offically 9 inches tall, but you know how us guys are, we aren't ever really sure how big an inch is any way.

Hey Jay !
I know what you mean about out of control yard. While the front yard is treated by "professionals" with a liquid fertilizer and mowed by another service, I tackle the backyard (much larger and hidden myself). Yesterday, I moved the backyard, while Tiffany was a few yards ahead of me with the weedeater finding a path. Somehow, my yard was bistable bewteen "still scalped from winter" and "2-foot tall". Groups of the tall stuff usually were 3' in diameter and fortunately sparse. Strange I know. But so much for yard work in Oklahoma.
We had some good thunder and lightning this morning at 5am. I heard about ten minutes of sprinkles before I fell back to sleep. This morning, it was abnormally cool (its 51F now) and I went to see how wet the porch swing cushions got the night before... Noticed some squirrels and scissortails looking through the clippings the Honda mulcher left behind. It's kinda nice to stop and look around for a minute in the mornings. --Scott
