First Rattle

So it's a long weekend and I have to work. I'm really wondering if I'm the only one who hasn't made plans for the long weekend. I mowed my back yard last night and washed and waxed the car. I've been living here 10 years and don't even have sprinklers in the back yard. Now that might not seem like anything terrible to you, but considering the look and feel of the neighborhood, I'm surprized the lawn nazis haven't showed up at my door with pitchforks and shovels. It seem useless, really, since I have two dogs and they pretty much determine what stays and what goes. After seeing their collective opinion on my weed whaking, I dont know if they'd let sprinklers exist. They've made it clear to me, the lawn is theirs.
I'm fairly lazy about yards in general. When I got this place, oh so long ago, there was a man in the picture and I just figured he'd be the plow and spade dude. Now man gone, only dogs to root the turf. I did hang thick curtains to block my wiew of the yard, hey, works as well.
