Productivity...

I bit the bullet and mowed the lawn last night. It didn't seem that tall to me, but since it had been a month from the last cut, I thought I might as well get it done. Also, with the recent rains, I knew it would be growing faster. After the first swath around the yard I admitted to myself that I had been in denial. The grass was actually taller than I thought and I had to slow down considerably for the mower to handle the quantity over much of the yard. Oops. lol After finishing the yard, I was still feeling energetic enough to tackle more, so I pulled out a rake and cleaned up the compost pile, preparing it for the addition of autumn leaves. Because it didn't take long I decided to tackle even more, and let the dogs out to play in the yard while I raked up the rows of grass cuttings to add to the compost pile. I had to laugh. My yard looked like a hay field in preparation to be baled. I had stripes of grass extending from the back of the property up to the house. I raked up a little bit while laughing at the antics of the pup, whom I've started calling Molly. Her little white legs were tinted green from the belly down. She was having a ball jumping into the piles of grass that I was raking. We didn't stay out long since it was getting dark but I have to admit it was nice to be outside for a change. I've been spending too much time on the computer lately. Of course, with classes beginning today, I'll still be on the computer constantly but...oh well. It's worth it for now.
