This Grass Grows Fast

We have had a lot of Spring rain, so between the rain, the grass seed I put down last month, and the warmer temps, my yard is growing grass like crazy. It needs to be cut at least once a week in normal weather, which usually burns an hour of my Saturday mornings. My grass could actually use a second, mid week cut to keep it from getting our of control.

I went ahead and cut the grass this morning around 8:00 and got it out of the way. I even bagged the clippings so that the lawn doesn’t have a problem with thatch. A quick shower, then I was off to my girl’s house to scoop her up and head over to the Lake. It was crowded as hell, and we barely got a place to park. In fact, there were so many fucking kids running around screaming and crying that we got sick of it and left earlier than planned.

Dropped her off at home to get changed and cleaned up, then we are heading downtown for some bar hopping and clubbing. That’s my weekend so far.

Rabbits everywhere

Our yard has been filled up with rabbits the last few weeks and they have eaten almost everything that was growing that they could get a hold of out in the yard. We have decided to try and find a humane way to remove some of the critters and get them back to the lake where they belong. The critters have to cross a major road to get to our yard from the lake and I do not want to see them hit by cars on the road. We have looked into a rabbit trap to humanely catch and release them closer to the lake. Not harming the critters is a major point with us.

The best humane rabbit trap that we found was located on the web site for HaveaHart.com they have a lot of other different kinds of traps that will work for us in our battle to move the rabbits out of our yard. We have had several other “pets” this year including squirrels and deer in the yard but the rabbits have all of the others way out numbered this year at least. I think if we can move the rabbits the other critters will get the idea and hit the road themselves.
