Glad I mowed the lawn yesterday after work, I would have hated for all those seeds on the weeds in my yard to have to be stuck to a plant during this wonderful rain. Go forth my little poly-culture of wild plant things and propagate so I don't have to pay money maintaining an expensive, not fun to walk on, guaranteed to die, mono-culture.

Also it's fun to irritate my OCD neighbor, he mows his lawn in the exact same tracks every single time, so much so that the grass he pays so much for refuses to grow where his mower wheels go, and I've never met a lawn edged as far in as his, a full on 4" from the side-walk. I literally fell in his edging trench and it ate my whole foot.

So in revenge I do mine any way except straight,. Odd angles, concentric circles, opposing triangles, peace signs, you name it. You know how damned hard it is to come up with a new geometric design each time? I love to watch him go for his evening walk after I mowed and stop at my yard and shake his head.

I do that too! One neighbor used to change colors when he watched, that was fun.
Then I started on the bushes, not one was square. He actually blew a gasket when I lollipopped the hydrangeas, that was the final straw.

Oh as bad as the trimming of my camellia bush is, the neighbors should f'kn LOVE me for how much trouble it has given me. Back in 2018 it got tented by spider mites. I cut the damned thing down to a nub (hoping it would die, it didn't) and then every spring after the last cold snap, I purchase a large pack of beneficial insects from buildasoil and sprinkle it around the yard. Which is kind of the point behind keeping a poly-culture going, keeping just enough of a balance in the life that the bugs I buy stick around all summer.

Ever since then I've never seen a spider mite on any of my ornamental outside and my cool neighbor's wife started having decent yields from her food garden.

So I'm not a complete jerk, most the neighbors don't even know the benefit I'm giving them; that is if they don't have some company come kill everything once a week.

...and that's the story that got me my job.

Try Amazon Prime's new Reacher series. Great action show, good story line and Jack Reacher actually looks as described in the books.
That is more like it. Tom is into Scientology and for that reason Reacher series is at the bottom of the playlist.
My .02 cents is this series is better than the movie .

I forgot about having prime so I checked it out . Binge watched the whole season Sunday night and yesterday . It was a amazing show with lots of action . Then discovered that with prime you get Paramount + . After watching every episode of Yellowstone ( highly recommend ) I wanted to see “ 1883 “ because they only showed the first two episodes and if you want to see the rest you could only watch it on Paramount +. They did the same with “ Mayor of Kingstown “ . Can’t wait to get caught up on these shows .
