Skylar, you should assign your grounds crew to tidy up the ballpark…..

Cosmo, you need the exercise far more than Skylar. You go and mow the lawn. It will do your heart some good. Besides, you might find a worm.

Please don’t remind me.

We have been having so much rain that it is very difficult to find a time where it is even possible to mow the lawn. On those few occasions the entire neighbourhood is out mowing their lawns. In-between it grows like crazy. And not just the lawn.

I thought he was going to mention the drum circle under the full moon!

“High and outside?” Is Dock Ellis pitching?

Cut lots of shapes out of the lawn to turn into flower beds!

Place looks much more 3 dimensional now, with more birds and insects!

Less grass and more interest!

Not sure I want to see how high the lawn is as they live in a tree! (or so I thought)

Get high and mow the lawn?

nice segue

I’m afraid to go out and mow – there might be a moose hiding in the yard.

Let him finish the inning at least…..

No matter what is going on the parent figure always finds a chore in it.

He’s probably thinking let’s get high outside

I usually figure about two weeks between lawn mowings. But this week there has been frequent night rain, followed by sunny 80+ F days. The lawn is growing like nobody’s business. So it looks like I’ll be mowing before the “normal” time.

Oh! He dropped the ball!!
