It rains enough in Florida, particularly here in North Central, that I even read something the other day that said our national rainfall average is higher than places like Seattle. I mean, I know this place is a swamp, but damn… I just mowed our front yard and I would wager that by Thursday our yard will once again be somewhere between 10-15″ tall.

What the hell is that? The lawn isn’t even uniform, there are about 3 strains of lawn out there, and probably 5-10 different varieties of tall wildflower weeds growing out there prior to me cutting the lawn.

/sigh

If I didn’t know better, I’d say I need a machete to cut through my front yard. The Lawn mower clogs and sputters its way across, and it has no grass catcher, so it just spews the fresh cut grass all over the newly trimmed lawn. I have a theory about that as well. I would say that the trimmed mulch is fertilizing my damn lawn, and then when it rains three times a week, my lawn grows up nice and tall with thick reeds. . .

As Ria says, “Welcome to Florida. If you don’t like the weather, wait 10 minutes.”
