INSANITY

Temporary insanity -- obviously what I was undergoing when I made my joyous remark about fresh new green grass (April 29). I enjoy live through four seasons each year: snow-shovelling, mud-mopping, grass-mowing, leaf-raking. Which one creates the most work? Grass-mowing. We have such great annoying abundance of rain and sunshine in Ontario, that grass grows lush and high every week.

That wouldn't be such a problem if my lawnmower weren't such a wimp. It refuses to cut grass when it's wet; and with the frequent rains we get, the grass is often wet. Finding a day when the grass is dry enough to satisfy the fussy mower isn't easy; especially when frequent rains keep the grass from drying out. Let's hope this summer isn't so wet!
