Somehow, I don't know what we did but I guess we deserved it. We received another 1.2 inches of rain Tuesday night and I've always heard that sooner or later you always get what you deserve.
It sure did perk the weeds and grass in our lawn up. That means I'll need to get out the lawn mower and follow it around for an hour or so long before I wanted to. This twice a week stuff is a killer and you know the gasoline to power the blade isn't cheap either. Actually I don't follow it but a little more than half the time. After I get the outer edges cut and cleaned up I push the lawn mower across the lawn then move over 20" or so and mow pulling it back. I'd say I mow coming and going.
Glenda is heading out for the weekly bridge game at the Lions Club. I'm growing more fond of that lady every day. Monday she stayed home, but Tuesday she went out with the ladies for a luncheon, yesterday she went to Jeff to visit Lena, today is the bridge game then tomorrow she will go bowling. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
We have 16 full sized trees on our little plot and I just read that every year one tree generates $625 worth of oxygen, provides $1240 worth of air pollution control, recycles $750 worth of water, and controls $625 worth of soil erosion. Lets see now, 16x3240 = $51,840.00 total value that our trees contribute toward the well being of the land yet we still are forced to pay taxes out the ying yang every year. One would think we should be getting a little payment of some kind. Heck, that should more than cover our carbon foot print and still leave us some to sell. What do you think?
I know, I know, unlike my mowing this message does going a lot better than it comes.
