The grass that grows closest to a tree is less likely to get cut.

 

I was cutting our rather large lawn, that is home to a lot of trees, yesterday and this sentence popped into my head. I thought, "What a great saying that would make!"

Who knows, maybe I was put on this planet to come up with wise sayings. Anyway, the reason why grass is safer, if it grows very close to a tree, is because it can be hard to get a lawn mower close enough to cut it. Okay, okay, I know it can be got at with a weed eater or some snips, but that is extra work for the poor old person mowing the lawn and often gets left for another day.

Bloggers, please feel free to use this saying when you are posting. I know that Peter will jump at the opportunity! TSB? He's more likely to post about bagpipes with a picture of a half-dressed young lady.

Blogger Robert wrote an interesting post on Jazz and improvising the other day. Okay, proofreading would have improved the read, but it's good to see him doing research on this topic.

Peter was a little upset because he'd damaged his lip trying to play the bagpipes because no one seemed to know that he listened to Ornette Coleman.

"Bloody bagpipes!"
says Peter.

Still, Robert got lots of comments on his post.

Shelley and I are off to lunch with some Indian friends to celebrate Diwali. That means that the grass that grows closest to our trees will continue to grow, as my job was going to be to get the weed eater out today.

Tomorrow Harrison is visiting. He is seven months old now and a smart little guy.

My job tomorrow will be to give him some cuddles. It's a hard life being a grandad!

Well, I'll leave you there for today.

Ciao tutti.
