Time to Kill some green - Watch out for snakes

For the past few weeks its been raining, then baking, then raining and then, just because the weather likes to change it up, baking. It's been difficult for me to go out there and take care of the lawn. The main reason being that I would like to avoid death, and the heat was working against my goals.

Now this weekend seems to the weekend when excuses run dry. I've walked out there, it did not rain last night, the lawn seems dry enough and the heat seems.... tolerable. So, it's time for me to go kill some green. That being said, the grass has gotten so tall I'm sure I'm going to find some crazy things.

Last year I remember finding some snakes, a scorpion and some very interesting dung beetles in my quest to kill overgrown grass. Now, the snakes were harmless but one of them ran past my legs making me jump like a lemur. Before you criticize me for being a wuzz, as yourself what should be the natural reaction to a snake speeding past you.

The plans for this weekend are simple, I've asked to borrow a good camera to record a decent quality video. And after today's journey under the sun and a good shower that's the mission at hand.

Yesterdays post had some interesting input to say the least, and I'm going to take that into consideration when drawing up the little plan/project Hive account@futurethinker and I are trying to build.

For now however, I'm going to tackle the lawn... Wish me luck, and hopefully this time I won't find any snakes.
