We've had about an inch and a half of rain in the past 12 weeks.

We could use some, but I'm not about to complain. Who knows what might happen?

We needed the rain the hurricane brought. Our mosquito crops was just about lost.

I remember those years ago when the all the Carolinas were crying for rain. I even heard one man say, "We could use a hurricane."

Which big one came right after that?

I don't know, but I bet everyone wishes he hadn't have been so vocal!

I hope it rained at my house this afternoon. I want someone else to water my lawn.

Skillzy's Home Maintenance Tip #39 - If you don't water the grass, you won't have to mow it, saving time and money two ways!

Personally, I agree with Skillzy. The less rain, the less grass to cut--and that's a GOOD thing.

I suppose you're right, but I don't mind since I have such a small lawn. This week I had to carry water in a bucket up the hill to water some hydrangeas that look like they are going to die. I'd rather cut my grass.

Would you like to cut mine? Although I imagine I would catch some flak from Miss Reba about this...

Yeah, Sugarmama's Lawn Service! You could wear cutoff jeans and a rebel flag bikini top! Put me on the waiting list.

Maybe Miss Reba wouldn't mind so much if Sugarmama got MA to strike a few poses as he edges the lawn.

The rain that Jim got from Ophelia (something about that does not sound right) did not quite make it into the NC Piedmont, where all we got were some brief sprinkles and some wind. We're still dry but maybe we'll get a little relief this weekend. At least I don't have to cut the stupid grass as much, though the seedhead stalks are getting tall.

Look--I got enough trouble without having some muscular blonde guy edging my yard.

Speaking of muscular blond guys, I wonder if you put him in a gold Speedo, would MA would look like Rocky? From the Horror Picture Show?

Skillzy, is it getting to be time for a little shore leave or something?

I guess Skillzy's right.

We learned today that the rider is dead. Kaput. Gone.

What is it with these lawnmowers!? Oh, by the way, don't let Skillzy hear you say that about being right, or he'll get all prideful.

Wonder how much a herd of goats would cost?

If you held them up just right would they eat the ivy off the eaves?

Sadly, no. Mares eat oats, and goats eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy.

A kid'll eat ivy, too.

Wouldn't you?

It has come to my attention that it's not "goats eat oats," but rather "does eat oats." (And this is a doe, a deer, a female deer.) This throws everything into a rather confused state, and I would suggest that giraffes be substituted in lieu of all other animals.

Yay me! Right again! I am teh sm@r7!

I can actually hook you up with a herd of goats for a reasonable fee, since my dad has ventured back into the goat trading business. Apparently there's a goat bubble, and prices are skyrocketing.

And even though you'll think I'm telling another sea story, I actually have some little poke salad plants growing out of the accumulated mulch in my gutters. My guess is that a bird took some seeds up there and deposited them. I meant to get some pictures, but you know how I am about doing stuff.

Skillzy needs a Gutter Goat (tm)!
