the grass grows greener. still.

5 excuses, er, reasons
we've come up with
to explain to our neighbors
why
our grass is
so
ridiculously
long:

1. We are predicting that the snow will come any day now so at this point, what's the point?

2. We are going for one of those naturalistic prairie landscapes.

3. Long grass is sooooo much cozier for laying in than short, clipped, spiky grass. Oooh. Ouch. Makes you cringe just thinking about it.

4. We really like to raise the stakes for our Bocce tournaments. All right. Our hand has been tipped. We will just go ahead and announce here that we hoping to compete in the 2020 Olympics (if Corradini plays her cards right). And you don't get there by making it easy on yourself, landing bocce balls in short grass, now do you?

5. We are concerned about the ozone and have committed to waiting until we can get a hybrid lawnmower. We just can't bring ourselves to use fossil fuels any longer, just to keep up appearances.
