No significant rain yet. At least I have saved money not paying a fellow to mow the extensive lawn.

A few green patches of moss and dried spikes of weeds, the rest is uniform beige.

No grass left on my front lawn after two years of baking in the sun sad

I never thought that after weeks of drought the lawn would green up so fast and grow so much. Being a sailing widow today as it is a Sunday, rather than go for a boring walk on my own I thought I would get the lawn mower out. Having ascertained it was still working after months in the garden shed I managed to mow the lawn. If DH had been here he would have advised me to lift the blades as the grass really was long. However I continued with the hard work because if you’re going to do a job you may as well do it properly. Off for a shower now!
