had to cut grass already

[pensrock]

  I normally do not have to cut grass till after the first day of trout season but it was getting high so today I put a batch of kicked up sticks in the smoker then sharpened the mower blades and cut grass, a couple weeks early.
  No sense making a post about the sticks sense they are basically the same as the last 4 or 5 or 6 batches. Only difference was I added a lot mot hot pepper to kick them up big time. This batch with be going with us on the first day of trout season.
  Probably will not have time to fish the first day cause that would get in the way of stopping at all the camps and taverns to partake of adult beverages.  ;D ;D ;D
  I'm making smoked cheddar/bacon/wild leek cheese, HOT beef sticks and thanks to a good friend, summer sausage. I also have smoked horseradish cheese, smoked habanero cheese and maybe one or two more kinds of smoked cheeses, not sure what hidden in the fridge. Lots to snack on between camps and local tavern stops. It will be a very long hard day. :)
I hope to get to do some fishing later in the week.  :)

Tulips and weeds are growing nicely soon the chiggers will be awake...

There's a season where you don't have to mow the grass?  (sorry, it's kinda like the golf courses closing - just doesn't compute)

... soon the chiggers will be awake...

Gawd, I haven't seen a chigger since I lived in Louisiana 50 years ago.  They used to eat me alive; I haven't missed them a bit. 

Fifty years ago?  Now I'm really depressed.

Actually I would rather shovel snow than mow grass.  :)

Must have been north Louisiana cause where I lived in LaPlace the skeeters ate all the chiggers and ticks...

I can vouch for that.

Lived in DeRidder back in the mid-late 50s. Just looked at Google maps and the house is still there, pretty much unchanged and still less than 100 yards from the chigger-infested woods.

I still have snow in the shade parts of my lawn.  I may, and I repeat "may", have to cut my lawn in 4-6 weeks. I'll probably power rake the lawn in 4 weeks. The good and the bad of living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

When we lived in Anchorage Alaska I can't ever remember Dad mowing the grass... Yea, he could not make up his mind South Louisiana to Alaska 3 times! before I was 16 years old...

SWMBO does love her plants and tends them religiously, but if there's something that I'm expected to do (mow, trim, whatever), I call in reinforcements.  Another cost figured into the price of living in Paradise.

Captainslug,

Is there any other good thing about living in Edmonton? Oh, right, the best Kubasa !! I don't make my own cause a friend goes to Edmonton quite a bit and brings back a box full which he then is nice enough to provide me with in exchange for some of my smoked cheese and smoked olives. Good deal for both of us!!

Loved the April fools joke the Oilers pulled on the media !!

I cut the grass back in February and would have liked to give it another shave this weekend, but the lawnmower would have blown away! Major storm yesterday, power out for 12 hours (it's nice to have wood heat and solar heated water on days like these) torrential rain, major league waves, windows taken out by the waves on BC ferries, 65 cm of new snow up on the ski hill for a new base of 685 cm! Next weekend quandary--go halibut fishing or take advantage of great spring skiing? The jury is still out....aahhh life on the island.

BTW--what is a chigger??

fishing, fishing, fishing.  ;D ;D ;D
