Square dancing is seriously bigtime Saturday night fun, ’round these parts.

And it was seriously fun, even though our square was a hot mess. Now that we know our ‘allemande’ from our ‘do sa do‘ we’ll be ready to move on to more advanced moves.

The only thing less interesting than watching grass grow is watching it get cut, unless you grew up in the city and never mowed a lawn in your life. THEN it’s pretty damn exciting!

Brian is in charge of lawncare (and by “lawncare” I mean just mowing because it’s not like we’re fertilizing or watering or anything), but I’m home more often so I needed to learn how to use the mower. The front gets really scraggly after a couple of days, and luckily it’s flat and I can manage it. This is the side yard, there’s a little more to mow in front of the house, too. I’m thinking of planting a bunch or stuff there so there’s less to mow. The back yard is simply too hilly for me to even think about mowing. Brian can do it, but I’m too scared that the mower will slip back and slice off all my toes.

I have no grace with the lawnmower, no rhythm and basically no skills.

I can barely start the damn thing.

Back in the day, they used to show shorts before Rocky Horror down on 8th Street to get the crowd warmed up. Paradise Garage and Thank You Mask Man were two of my favorites, but there was a third sick & twisted little movie that always made me giggle.

I though of it when I shot this.

Our little town is cute. Especially when it snows.

But the mayonnaise is expensive.

Cop-out day! This is a video I shot in June. I was wondering where to plant the stuff I ordered but had no idea where the existing plants were in the garden anymore. Cheryl suggested that I must have video of the yard someplace, and she was right!

I had never gotten around to posting this for whatever reason. But here it is: the yard in Summertime in all its glory and all its critters.
