...

Nope. Don't have an excuse. Got back from emergency road trip round 1am then stayed up all night watching season 6 of SG-1 cuz my sleepy clock needs resetting.
Now I get to mow the lawn, hurray.
I envy you peeps with brown grass. If it sprinkled for 5 minutes here, the grass goes ballistic.

We just hung out and listened to music.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
I am sorry that your hubby's employee has ruiined your plans.
Fairie, if your breaking out the lawn mower feel free to come to my house too!! Our lawn is sadly over grown.
Happy Birthday, Mary Jo! 
I suck at finding cute pics online, so that little guy will have to do.
Cody, her birthday is in her username! LOL!
And I'll be on here later to tell you what's in the box. Nobody's giving me any hints, so I'll have to wait until it gets here to find out, but UPS says it will be this afternoon, so
!!!! I'll be celebrating with the birthday girls!
And just by the by, WHAT THE HELL IS ON FIRE? It's so smoky here today, the sun is just a dark red circle in the sky. Tomorrow, our weather forecast is calling for 30 to 45 mph winds with gusts to 55, so whatever's burning, I hope it's far enough away not to be fanned by the wind tomorrow. THAT would be BAAAAAAAD! Last time it was smoky like this, it was wildfires in Canada, but I haven't heard what's burning now. Anybody know? The sunlight is a very pretty shade of pink, but I can't really enjoy the beauty of it, knowing it's caused by a big fire somewhere.

Maybe it's all the wildfires in California? I have a nephew living in San Luis Obispo and some of his friends were told by the authorities to evacuate.
I wouldn't THINK smoke from a California fire would make it this far, and still be this thick, but then again, I don't know how bad the fires are there, so I guess that could be it. I don't know how to search for stuff like this, so I'm kind of clueless... I just feel really bad for whoever is closer to it, and for whatever's burning (I'm assuming trees
and maybe houses, if people are being told to evacuate ).Uncontrolled or really large fires scare the bejeezus out of me. We had a grass fire (those are way worse than forest fires) here a year or two after we got here. We could see it from our place, and I was getting really scared, because there was nothing around us but dry standing grass, but thankfully, the "fire department," which consists of several of the neighbors, one of whom owns a water truck, managed to get it stopped. It was the middle of the night, and I think every tractor or frontloader in the county, plus the water truck, was out there making a firebreak and trying to douse it. I think it got to within a couple of miles of us before they got it put out. We were SO lucky. As it was, the only thing that burned was pastureland, and the miracle of soot made the whole area come in twice as green the next spring.

Lannie google your local news station. That shouuld give you their website and possibly news of the fire will be on there.
Nuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! ....*sniff sniff tear*
The grass will eat me.
Ours doesn't even get mowed as much as should be it grows so fast. (And it hasn't been wacked in weeks.
) Of course our yard is about a 45° angle down to the woods, and if precipitation even sneezes in our direction the back turns to swamp that makes you slide down the hill. 
I think I'm just gonna weed wack back there today... I don't feel like pulling the mower out of the ditch a million times... granted that's after I figure out how to restring this stupid bump head or manage to put my ugly line head on!
My lawn has gone into starvation mode. With no rain, it hasn't grown much so I haven't needed to mow for about three weeks now. I do need to take care of the weeds though, I have some weeds that has grown to be almost 3 or 4 feet tall.

Hubby or son will have to do ours.. I have no idea how to use the lawnmower. It is one of those industrial ride on things.
Our grass (acres of it) is getting pretty shaggy after our recent rains, too. Rich WOULD be out there mowing, but our mower has been on the fritz for one reason or another all summer. First the blades were chewed up. Ordered new, BETTER blades. Put those on, and the deck belt shredded. Ordered another belt (plus a spare, we no dummies), put the new belt on and IT shredded. Rich spent a day and a half underneath the thing (it's a riding mower), and finally found some little metal piece that had been bent and chewed, which was hitting the belt and shredding it. Got that bent back into place and filed smooth, and now it won't start. Just will not start. He's tried everything. There's fuel getting to the carb, and there's spark from the plug, but they're not acting in concert. I don't know if riding mowers have timing chains, but if they do, this one jumped A LOT. So all we have is the little push mower, and he's been doing his best to keep the grass around the immediate house area cut, but it's a formidable job for an old phart with a push mower. Today I'm letting the horses out. There's a bunch of beautiful, new, soft, green grass growing down in the southwest corner (it's a low spot so it gets extra water), and quite a bit of nice alfalfa, so I'm hoping the horses can help trim it back, and get a bellyful at the same time. I wish I could let them out to graze the ditches. The alfalfa is almost three feet tall out there already.
