When did August get here?
And when did my garden turn into a jungle?
OK, having a non-functional lawn mower is not helping the situation, but still, whoever saw tomato plants reaching 6+ feet tall?
But back to the original rant...
August is almost half over? Two more weeks and my job is back in it's seasonal rush mode. While I'm currently in the "down time" period of my job my mind and body are unfortunately still in vacation mode. So when I should be trying to catch up on projects, clean off my desk, and take care of annual and semi-annual administrative functions, I'd much rather be at home on the sofa, unshowered, and watching The View.
And now returning to the tangent...
I was gone for 10 days. It rained while I was gone. The grass grew like a foot. And a half-hour into mowing, the engine blew. Ten more minutes and I would have had the stretch of lawn along the road done. So now I have a long, mostly-cut expanse of grass with strips of knee high grass seed stems running in parallel lines to my pasture fence. It's like a bad mohawk out there. Like the barber failed to overlap his clipper strokes when shaving someone's head. Or I was too stupid to simply follow the trail. Now it looks even more pathetic because it's been like that for three days, and obviously I'm home and I should have finished mowing long ago. *sigh*
I'm borrowing the neighbor's lawn mower this weekend.
