Lawn Care

This year we have the best lawn that we ever had.  The combination of lots of sunshine, periodic rain storms, grand-babies with water hoses and the removal of a few trees, has produced the greenest, fullest lawn ever in the backyard of 52.

But while cutting the grass the other day I was brought under deep conviction about a certain matter; my propensity towards Chronic Obstacle  Adjustment.  You know, cutting around things instead of dealing with the issues. 

Like ... Cutting around the electrical wires (not live) sticking out of the ground in several location.  Eight years of intentions to install some lamp-posts for outside lighting.

Like ... Roots from trees that have already been removed.  Two years of hoping to get a small stump-grinder in to level out a few spots.

Like ... Concrete pavers (2ft x 2ft) left over from my sidewalk project.  Six Years of thoughts that "I might need them someday!"

We often create obstacles for our lives by not following through on the things that we need to do, should do or intend to do.  Then we Adjust to Accommodate those Self-Made obstacles instead of dealing with them.  Time for some Extreme Lawn Care!
