Hot enough

I probably haven’t mowed the lawn in probably three weeks. It has been a hot dry summer. I couldn’t tell you the last day it rained. I could care less if our yard was green. I am not going to waste money watering our yard. As soon as it rains it will green up just fine.

Today I decided to mow. Not because the grass needed it, but because all the weeds are getting long. They sure stay green and grow with out the rain.

I thought I would get out and beat the heat. As soon as the dew dried up I was out there. Then my wife called and needed something at work so I had to run there. Then I went to fill the gas on the mower…gas can empty. So I ran got gas. By the time I started mowing I didn’t beat the heat at all.

Fricken 82º out. Sure, some of you may think that isn’t to hot, but this is North Dakota we’re talking about.

It is going to be one hot weekend.

I guess it could be worse, it could be -20º. Actually, I would probably prefer -20º.
