To Mow Or Not To Mow, That Is The Question!

-
Spring is upon us! We haven't been able to mow yet, due to the wet grounds. So the grass is getting very long! I have been picking up sticks off and on all week. Digging around sidewalks and bushes. Today I was inspecting the grounds, to see if possibly I could mow today. Most is still too wet. Some looked as if it could be mowed. While looking at the grass, I picked up more sticks. I was just about to head for another LONG branch laying in the tall grass...when all of a sudden it MOVED!!!!!!!!! It was a snake! It was about 2-3 feet long. I stood still, and to my amazement didn't scream. I slowly backed up, and went away. This is why I don't like the grass to get long here! I want to SEE what's ahead of me! Not sure I will mow the dry parts, may leave it for my husband to do! *sigh* 

Or I may anyway...I do love to mow! Why should I let a little snake scare me? I think I will mow with the tractor instead:)

Hey KRK!

Guess what? I mowed! Oh KRK, I would be too chicken to drive over them! Would be afraid their parts would fly up all over me! Don't say you're not brave, YOU ARE!!!
Thank you for your kind comments:)
Love ya!

The Evil Pencil Cactus

My daughter Kimberly, my husband, and I went to Prairie Gardens a few months ago. We loved going through all the different tents full of flowers! My daughter and her husband just bought a new home, which is contemporary. We were looking for inside plants that would look good in her home. We came across an unusual plant she nor I had ever seen! It had "contemporary" written all over it! It was called a "Pencil Cactus". She and I fell in love with it! When we showed it to my husband, he turned up his nose at it and exclaimed, "You're not buying that thing are you?" My daughter and I said "why not?" He told us it was an evil looking plant! Hmmm , never heard of an evil plant before! His words resounded in my head days later. I helped my daughter load the plant in the cart, as it was about 3-4 foot tall, and it's pencils very slender. We didn't want to break it! As we put it in the cart, I noticed a sticky milky substance all over my han...

News media taking pictures, and interviewing people. Firemen on top of church next door, spraying the Inn with hoses of water. In this picture, you can see the whole back of the Inn is missing. If you look closely, that's the rear half of the roof slanting downward.
