There I was, blogging not long ago about how nice the yard looked. It’s amazing how quickly that changes, isn’t it? I mean, I can clean the house and if I leave it alone for a week or two, it will stay clean, dust notwithstanding. (I am pretty sure this is the case, though I do not remember ever messing it up, but it just gets messed up after awhile, somehow.) But the yard? No, if I leave it alone for a week or two, the dandelions pop up in twenty-four hours (honestly, how does that happen like that? It is crazy.) and then it rains for three days and then the grass is somehow higher than the shrubs.
I’m a little prickly about this because I couldn’t mow last night due to the sogginess of the yard, and I am busy busy with a full busy-bee life until Saturday, and I am certain that my neighbors will not be pleased if I wait that long to mow. Dammit! I may have to take off a couple of hours of work tomorrow or Thursday and go home to mow, but that will mean that I will have to hurriedly clean myself up to go off to do whatever it is that I am supposed to do later (on each day, respectively).
I forget how much work lawns are. Seriously.
Headed to a Ragtag movie now with some friends. They have a series called Ragtag 101 in which they play classic films. Tonight is L’Atalante, which Roger Ebert lists in his book The Great Movies. I am excited to see it. I have wanted to see other Ragtag 101 films in the past, so I’m glad I’m catching this one (even at the expense of the yard).
