Honey I Shrunk the Kids

Remember that movie in which Rick Moranis makes this machine that shrinks the kids and they go through this big adventure in the back yard?

The first summer Roommate and I lived in our apartment, our landlord came and mowed our lawn every week. Then he and his wife moved a little further away and he did not come so often. Last summer was the first summer during which they had a baby and he mowed every two weeks, if we were lucky, but more like every three weeks. I just found out that he and his wife had another baby last weekend. He has mowed our lawn ONCE this year so far. We had a week of rain, and now we have had lots of sun. Our lawn reminds me of that movie.

While I am at my conference this week, you will go on a tour of the jungle that is my backyard. This was my setup while I did some reading for the conference the day it was 94 degrees. Ick. I have my iced tea on my right and my papers right there by the chair. I even read them! Maybe it will be mowed when I get home, but I doubt it!

Not terribly exciting, but very green!

The lawn looks very healthy. I bet the grass is cheering: Yay! We get to grow and no one is coming to mow us down!

Think of it like your own personal nature reserve! How cool is that!
