My lawn is about that tall now. And not from an ant’s perspective.

Have you milked the aphid yet?

My lawn has a Japanese soldier in it that doesn’t know that WW2 has finished……

After you rake the lawn

“I just had a hair cut.”

“Why didn’t you have them all cut?”

I didn’t know that these where Leaf-Cutter Ants:

That was just the front!!

I see the grass has been hacked into…

After you rake.

That’s the scythe of it (I know you axed for it).

Don’t remind me I have to go cut the grass, I have acres of grass.

Lawn — the early days.

I stumbled across a campsite in my front yard while mowing. I found Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart, The Loch Ness monster, Elvis, and Jesus, making s’mores!

In my town we are “going for the gold”

He could’ve been eaten by the anteater!

Seems about right…youth of today don’t know what hard work is…

If only it was that easy…

Beast mowed.

And, in the ’50s, my pop made me use a scythe and a sickle. Both found and dispatched snakes in the grass, a handy training experience for my distant future as an AT&T middle network manager.

Sharpen the ax blade!

Chopping the blade of grass down just like they did before lawn mowers.
