I have a shaggy lawn full of violets.


Today I bought a reel lawnmower at McQuade's hardware store.  (A tall man in a suit smiled at me and reckoned that I must have a teenage son if I was buying that thing.)   Our grass is too high already to mow, so it's taking some work with a grass whip first.  Well it's exercise and there's no roar of an engine.


By the time I get to the end, the violets at the beginning will be blooming again.
