THUNDER,
RAIN, & MOWING
Across
the Fence

As
that thunder boomed out and those rain clouds skirted around
Hamilton
Sunday afternoon, I’m sure many of you wished strongly, as I did, that
they would come over. I water our lawn fairly well, but nothing can do
for a lawn what a good rain can.
When
it comes the time of the week to mow the lawn, I’m about a 13 or 14
year old boy standing in front of a mirror and looking at his beard. He
is really proud of every little bristle sticking up, yet he knows that
it will look better in the eyes of a certain little lass if it is cut
off. But he wonders if it is really worth all the trouble and lather he
will use.
Even
though a cup or two of gasoline will mow our lawn, I almost find myself
using the price of gasoline as an excuse for not clipping those few
blades of grass. But I always feel prouder of the looks of the lawn
after the job is completed, so feel that it is worth the trouble.
