Lawnmowers and Sprinklers

Even though the last couple weeks has involved what feels like an almost daily dispute with either the lawnmower or the irrigation, I am very thankful to have both.  I can't imagine trying to cut my grass with scissors or even with (gasp) a push mower.  I am glad I don't have to rely on enough rain to keep my grass green and my garden alive.  I don't have to pack pails of water with a ladle from plant to plant.  I get to have green grass to walk on instead of just dirt and rocks.  I think sometimes I don't appreciate all the beautiful things I have growing in my yard.
