If you’re wondering why I’m miserable and feel like my soul has been crushed to dust, here’s a hint.

Tres delicious.
The lawn is done, but in the process I’ve somehow pissed off the mosquito population. Suckers are everywhere. Go pick on the squirrels, ya bastards.

Picking up where I left off yesterday, including the back pain. Ouch.

Pick up the tempo, teach, it’s gonna rain!

Dig that bad ass mallet playing step son of mine.

The whole front of the house has been mowed. Next is the side and then the back. Speaking of backs, mine hurts a lot. When I say a lot I mean a ton. When I say a ton I mean a mountain range sized hurt. I took some Tylenol an hour ago. Just imagine how much this would hurt without it. Yikes.
Slight subject change. What is this?

I often find garter snakes hanging out on the lawn mower when I bring it out. There was a little guy on it today, in fact. My first thought was this thing is a snake skin. Now I’m not sure. Now I think it’s some kind of coating that used to be on the pull starter’s rope.
Either way, it’s a backyard mystery.
Today is the day you die, tall grass. Today is the day I cut you down.
My name is Robert the Red head. You made my yard look ugly. Prepare to die.


My father coming home from the hospital was good. Everything else today was kinda shitty. For example, the minute I got home tonight this little animal barfed all over the place.

But, as a wise television show about teenage girls once taught us, you take the good… you take the bad… you take them both and then you have… the facts of life. Yeah, the facts of life.
