the grassy garden

I have returned to the old days! We have grass but the garden is so small it doesnt need a lawn mower. So, every couple of weeks I get out these choppers and cut the grass, rake it up and put it in the recycling. I actually enjoy it, it is good exercise and moo loves hanging out while I do it. Of course this requires very careful poop scooping before said task is performed due to close proximity to the ground...it also feels like a job well done when I look out the window and things are nice and neat. I am always in a quandry about whether the invest any more time and energy into this small garden. It is the double edged arguement, this is a rental and we will move on so why invest the time and money but on the other hand, I like to live in a nice environment and I like being in the garden and doing gardening......bring on the inflatable splash pool!!
