I’m not too concerned about global warming, it’s global wetting that bothers me more.
Usually, this time of year, I send my lawn mower on a 4- to 6-week sabbatical while the grass in my yard lies dormant.
Not this year. Global Wetting has me out there as often as twice a week cutting grass, and before I can recharge the battery on the mower, the grass is at it again.
This has been a wet year. We haven’t ever gone much more than a week between rains. We had nearly 10 inches in our rain gauge in July.
But I’m not complaining. Our tomatoes are loving life and Nancy’s flower beds are erupting in color. I have one of the greatest-ever beds of Fordhook lima beans on the way, and for that, I’ll mow the grass twice a week.
