Well, two weekends ago, after a tough morning in the back yard, weed eating and mowing, etc, and resting with number two daughter having a spot of tea, I commented that due to the professionalism and hard work she had performed in my back yard all summer, mowing the grass and stuff,, again…, that I was willing her my lawn mower, er, upon my demise, of course.( She did display a real joy upon being notified of my decision). So, be it known by all men, and women, that should I pass on anytime soon, the lawn mower is hers. (Said “hers” is number two daughter). Now, if I live long enough to purchase a new lawn mower, I will probably just give her the present one, parts included, and then wait to see who my helper is with the new mower before naming who the new mower shall be willed to. I figure this will be a huge, I say, huge incentive for the lawn mower operator of said new mower, if and when I get one. I thought I should write this up on my blog just to make it official and all, you see, especially that, “be it known by all men” legalese type language.

Some folks say I get my gift of bs from my Uncle Shorty, now I don’t know, I just point and shoot, and let it hit what it may……..
It’s neat the Albuquerque drought is over, and you have grass to cut. At least, that means there is still sufficient water left in the aquifer to allow you to water it. From the Google pictures, it still really looks dry out there. At least, it does in the “neck of the woods” of the old Goat Farm and KAFB. With Barry as Commander-in-Chief, I suppose that part is dry in more ways than one.
Yes, our yard was suffering for a while but since late July we have had rain in pretty good quantities. And, since the state fair just started we should have lots more. State fair times seems to mean heavy monsoons. It starts today and rain is forecast. Plus, we had a real good rain yesterday. Since state fair time is here, I went ahead and fertilized, the first time this year.
What’s this with rain and the New Mexico State Fair? I went to four straight fairs from 1965 to 1968, and I don’t remember a rain during any of them. I only remember kicking that solid “enchantment” around as I walked from one pavilion to another; and I was very happy that Albuquerque had sidewalks and paved streets even in the dark ages (the Sixties) because I had to walk back to the base. I suppose this is the global warming climate change that Al Gore was talking about. I salute Big Al. He was right in his prediction. He was just wrong in the cause.
