Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for July 26, 2009

It might have been more fun to stay home and watch the grass grow.

My grass grows so fast that I have to mow it every 4 or 5 days. It would look like Adam’s if I went on vacation.

Why is the front yard grass shorter than the back yard? Apparently it only rained in back:)

Rain water seems to be better at growing grass than any other kind of water

Ji2m, I had a neighbor like that. They were retired people and didn’t like my dog (theirs barked as much as mine, when it was outside) and I worked nights. Every morning at 8 or 9 a.m. they would mow their back yard (nearest to where my bedroom was). That went on for about a month, until I came home one morning and mowed MY front lawn (nearest to THEIR bedroom and most other neighbors’) at around 2:00 in the morning.

Our neighbor used to mow his yard all the time, but considering what a grouch his wife was, we figured he did it to stay out of the house. She died this winter, and although he still mows it, I don’t think it is near as often.

It was my first summer working 2nd while living in that house. I was never absolutely certain they did it to interrupt my sleep, or if it was just what they were used to and they weren’t thinking it through, but I believe in my heart that it was to awaken me because that was the kind of people they were.

My front yard gets mowed more frequently than the back - so when mowing today, the front was a breeze and the back was a jungle! I can empathize with Adam here…

Seems like I’m always mowing my lawn. Do you think maybe I need to get a bigger scissors?
