Grass, grass, more grass, and lots of weeds

Good news!
Yesterday I "fixed" my lawnmower! I use the word fixed very loosely. It wouldn't work. Eventually I replaced the air filter. That did the trick! It works! It was a good thing that I did it - the air filter was nasty and the yard was starting to look like the Amazon Rainforest back there.

After mowing out the rainforest I stopped to talk with my neighbors. Luckily they are like me, and prefer to wait to mow until their neighbors mow! We had a nice little conversation. I had a great compliment - apparently the thug dogs who terrorize the neighborhood bit a girl - hence they were hauled off 3 weeks ago. She was asking if it was me - and the girl was rumord to be 18 yrs old. That made me feel so nice :-) She also confirmed that they struggle with the Poison Ivy/Oak on a regular basis. I guess it is a group battle.
