Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE THUNDERSTORMS, and although April and May are famous for them in Indiana, all we get a lot of lately is rain. Oh sure, we get the occasional thunder-banger, but they are short-lived and not that spectacular. And on top of all of it, everything is saturated with water.
This of course has delayed the seeding of my lawn by at least 10 days…..and unfortunately the next opportunity will be Thursday, and only for a small brief window. I may seed parts of it then, but the areas that are already wet and tend to flood will become nothing but swimming pools for seed. I am no botanist, but I am pretty sure that would not be effective. But heck, I am probably dreaming anyway, because after 10 days if I can get enough mowing done to seed it will be a miracle.
Our nice yard is starting to get too high, and with it being wet it is harder to mow. I might ask the neighbors if they mind if I got a couple of goats, but I understand they don’t like to edge….so I may just be on my own. On the upside, I should be able to tell where I have mowed…..and on the downside, gas is a ba-gillion dollars a gallon and it’s a big lawn.
But what can I do? Perhaps after tonight’s storm I can see if building an ark might be a better plan. I will see….and at least then a couple of goats would not seem so out of place.
Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
