It's A Jungle Out There

As we spent the last week in the desert, we were jolted to reality by our return to the jungle...or is that our yard? Apparently our grass likes the cooler weather, and, as we had not mowed the previous weekend, Mommy spent saturday evening mowing our yard. There was so much grass that the motor actually stopped several times and, after I apologized to our very mild-mannered neighbor for our yard, he admitted that there was quite a lot of grass in some places, which was about the most generous thing he could have said. Mr. Incredible was inspired by the cooler weather to plant some pansies, and Dash, who has not once objected to playing in dirt, generously helped remove dead plants and explored their very intriguing roots.
