Countdown to woodchuck rapture

That's a pretty lawn, Glinda.

(is your sidearm holstered?)

It also looks like endless work. Nature just doesn't make space like that. I can't afford a greenskeeper, and I don't want to be one. But I admire the work, just beautiful.

Thank you!

No sidearms. Just my faithful Mossberg. My tenant (lives in a 5th wheel on my land) has a few guns, but he leaves the mole killin' to me.

Oh, it IS endless work, but it makes me happy. It's my first yard - lived in apts and condos since I was 18 (and I'm olllllld now). When I decided it was time to ditch city life, I bought a place on 1.14 acres just north of America's Vancovuer *, and went nuts with lawns and rose bushes and fruit trees and berry bushes and veggie beds and, of course, chickens (I've SO turned into my mother).

By the way, that's only the front lawn. There's a side and backyard lawn too...

Am I crazy? Yes. Yes, I am. Isn't that why we're all here?!?


* You're in Seattle, right? If you ever get down this way, give me a holler. We can get the grill going, make a nice fire in the fire pit out front, have a few cocktails, tell a few stories, and wait for the moles to show themselves. Yee-HAW!!
