We have mowed the grass in no mow May. Once in the front, and twice in the back. It would be hip high if we didn’t, I know from last year. I can’t have hip high grass in the back, with a dog. I would never find the crap! Believe me the bees are everywhere! I also got plants, even though I said I wouldn’t until June, and I will probably plant seeds as well.
With all the lame things on my list currently and a long weekend, who doesn’t want to be outside with your hands in the dirt, sun in your face and black flies chewing on your skin. Grass stains and dirty fingernails, says summer. I also know we are not usually done with frost until the third week June. Speaking of June, the lovely June bugs have arrived.
I’d rather mow, than snow-blow. I’d rather sunburn than freeze, and be barefoot instead of a parka. I had my coffee on the deck this morning, while a lone crow warned me it was gonna be a hot one today. A hummingbird came over to see if my pink pyjama top was a flower, which is why I ran out immediately to get some. They say lazy days of summer, not for me, my days are full.
That being said, there are beds to weed, seeds to plant, chair cushions to dig out, fresh air to breathe. If anything, do that, enjoy the day!
