Monday Through Friday around 8:40am we get together and ask a Trivia question on the Morning Challenge. 

Betty Hemenway of Mercer, Mo got it right this morning!

question:
The Famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright's son, John Lloyd Wright invented what popular toy?

HERE IS THE ANSWER

I love the fact that the grass is getting it's color back. But, That also means the grass is also beginning to grow.  That will eventually lead to having to get back into a routine of mowing.  The older I get The less I enjoy this weekly chore.  With no effort at all, I can walk around the yard for an hour (the time it would take to mow) and look at the roses, bushes, or flowers that krista planted last year. 
But the thought of actually firing up the mower just drains every bit of energy out of me.  I don't know why!  After all, when I finally do mow it's very rewarding to see how nice the yard looks that surrounds my shack.  Also, the good feeling of doing some actual exercise! 

I'll put off mowing one more day.  After all...I have to spend some time in the man cave "prepping" the mower for the inevitable.  Now that I enjoy!  What man doesn't like to set something in the middle of the garage floor and spend hours hovering over it contemplating what he should do first to make the machine do the job faster and more efficient! 

This summer if you drive by and see Me standing in the yard looking at the mower.  Don't yell out the window...It's about time you cleaned that place up!  Rather stop and say hi. lets visit for awhile........after all the mowing can always wait!

5:30 comes early.......
talk to ya then!
