Growing and growing...

We haven't had rain in what seems like forever. The yard has only needed mowing a couple of times this year. Last night we got quite a bit of rain and it seems as if the grass grew a foot overnight. My husband is going to have to get out the reel lawn mower as soon as the yard is dry. He is very particular about how the lawn looks and takes quite a bit of pride in keeping it perfectly manicured. I really could care less as long as the grass gets mowed periodically. I think that mowing the lawn is a form of stress relief for my husband and that he feels a sense of accomplishment in making it look just right.
