The chronicles of the lawn

At the end of June I was hoping by this time to be down to less than once a week with mowing. Hasn't happened - we had some dry weather in July but it's been a pleasantly wet August so have been mowing once a week - should mow tonight but have Bible study, yesterday was wet, Monday was sick. It's getting away from me this week. Hopefully will not rain tomorrow so I can get at it.

Have not had complete victory over the flower beds either. Only one section really looks bad but I don't think any of it is weed free. What should happen is have a clean sweep of it in the spring, and then only have to do it 6 weeks later, and then once more. My mom has not been weeding this summer as she has been in previous years. I don't know if this is a fluke or if this is the energy level we can expect from her in the future. It is definitely an adjustment as your parents get older. Life changes - glad to know God doesn't.
