And the Banter played on

Did you know that Bamboo is a grass? Yup, that stuff in your frontyard is a cousin to bamboo. Do you know how I found this out? Well, bamboo is the world TALLEST grass. And I've got a yard full of it!!!! Last night, with machette in hand, I hacked a path to my daughters play area. As Jeff Foxworthy may have eluded to, I didn't find any cars in the yard, but I think I scared up a couple of silver back gorillas and a panda or two. It's a jungle out there!

As you may have noticed from my previous rant I am working too much. And in an effort to keep myself in the good graces of my neighbors I hired a lawncare company to cut my lawn. The grass had been getting a little high, but nothing too bad. We haven't gotten much rain lately and I didn't have time over the weekend to cut it and the service said they would be coming out on Monday to cut it anyway. No worries. Then Sunday comes, and with it a deluge. Then lots of sun again. Then Monday...more sun. The grass is now over 6" in height. And guess who lives next to the most emaculate yard in the world...me. Next to my neighbors yard I might as well have three broken down cars in the front yard and a couch on the porch. I can only wish I could afford the time they do on their yard!
