I mowed the lawn a day early

after a no mow April. (to support the bees and give them a head start)

Anyway, after I was done I looked at it carefully and decided I cut it too short and will let it grow a bit taller because it will keep the moisture in the ground a little better and make the grass healthier.

Like a lot of suburbanites I used to cut it short to make it a longer period between cuttings. Now that I have time I'll just mow it a little more often.

In other news, does anyone else see the irony of this:

I think it's hilarious.
