   I started singing it from the preview (so I couldn’t see for sure that she was going to end it that way). I laughed when I realized that was exactly her intention after clicking for the full comic strip.

    I definitely had this problem the first time I trimmed a row of holly hedge. It’s like, if you give a mouse a cookie. As the things you trim by change up close, it’s tougher to get yourself to step away for perspective. I’m sure there’s a trick to it but the following year, I made a point to step away and look back. That helped.
