The Grass Has Grown

                                     The Grass has Grown
I looked out at my lawns the front garden and back
It's been such a dry summer I felt  I had lost track
The grass had turned brown and the lawns almost died
I felt that I couldn't cure it no matter how I tried.

I collected my lawn mower it was un-used and rusty
The insides were filled with old grass and awfully dusty
But I gave it a good clean and plugged it in to the electric
Pressed the starter Butten and took off dangerously hectic.

I gradually settled and chose my most growing traces
I steered with decision creating better looking spaces
I carried on cutting but when I looked it made me frown
Unfortunately my impatience had made the whole lawn Brown!

As usual. A comic at heart! Enjoyed this one: injured my shoulder trying to feed the plantrs in my garden. Hose pipe ban - i couldnt see my precious flowers wilt. Carried water to the beds in cans. Nice one!

Er-indoors is in charge of our gardens now Kitty, I'm not sure if she is helping me because of my health problems or that I am not capable of doing the job properly, either way I am the winner but I don't show it. Take care my lovely, Rod.

I wish I could thank her for the support she is giving you my dear friend. She is how i imagine a 'partner' should be. Bless her! Lets say that true 'love' is what keeps the partnership secure. Be glad and rejoice! Take care my friend
