WARNING!

Reading this blog has made people want to kill themselves, so if you are easily depressed, perhaps you should find something more uplifting to do, like watch a Holocaust documentary or read a Cormac McCarthy novel.

hill-air-ee-uhs

coming soon to a crappy network near you...

gardening at the grotto

in this new and exciting addition to the unbelievably-yet-to-be-tapped-out reality tv genre, watch as a new homeowner gets into side-splitting situations as he tries to keep the encroaching weeds at bay. watch in awe as the star, thurman allen, breaks his newly purchased pruning shears after snipping only four stubborn weeds. gasp when, trying to dig up a deeply entrenched weed-tree, the graciously loaned shovel snaps in half, while the weed remains. giggle uncontrollably as thurman walks his lawnmower down his 75 degree angled front lawn, only to lose his footing, unceremoniously landing flat on his back while his (luckily, not running) lawnmower rolls into the street, leaving the poor slacker with twisted shoulders and a bruised ego.

you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream, "Get those gardening implements away from him!"

get your tivo revved up and ready to go!

Isn't gardening fun?!

Ahhhh... in my single days, my roommate and I had a house with a front yard like that. I do NOT miss the mowing of THAT. We finally tied a rope to the lawn mower handle- holding down the "bar". As we stood at the top of the "hill", we let gravity take it's course going down; then used the rope to haul the mower back to the top. Not the safest idea, but better than falling into a running lawn mower!

Ever thought of wearing gold shoes or cleats???

Blessings!

I think you should just get some goats and let them graze. Might even get some goat milk to gift to your neighbors. Yep, add some goats.
