On the promise of rain today, I dethatched my lawn yesterday and dumped
fertilizer on about 70,000 square feet of yard. This, so I might have
the pleasure of cutting grass the remainder of the year.

So, where's the damned rain?

Who has it?




Harry, 70,000 square feet of yard is about 1.6 acres of grass to cut.

That is w-a-y too much for someone who also enjoys boating.

Let some of it return to wild growth and maybe wetlands.

Only about an acre of it is tue lawn; the rest of the yard is semi-wild,
but I do give the latter some attention so it doesn't become too unruly
and a fire hazard. The rest of the place is a speck of farmland and woods.
It takes me four to five hours a week "in season" to keep it mowed via
my little garden tractor. Unless it is awfully hot, I don't. I start
very early in the morning.
