I think your lawn might be just a LITTLE too far away, Jerry. Anyway, I have a perfectly good lawn out here in Sydney that is due for a cutting. We had a lot of rain a couple of weeks ago, followed by some very hot weather. Everything is growing like crazy, including the grass and the weeds.

I'm glad to hear your hip has improved so quickly. One tends to take walking for granted. I did, until I broke my ankle a few years ago and had to spend weeks in a cast and on crutches, not being allowed to put ANY weight on the foot. The day the cast came off and I was allowed to stand on two legs again, I went to a favourite lookout near the hospital and watched a glorious sunset. I felt overwhelmed with gratitude that I could walk normally again - in fact it was really just an amazing feeling of being glad to be alive!
