Monday is for Mowing
by Bill Schott
Larry rose on that Monday morning and looked out his bedroom window. The grass on his lawn reminded the man of a field of wheat. He could picture Laura Ingalls, from Little House on the Prairie, running down the hillside through the hip-high waves of grain.
Being Monday, Larry was scheduled to mow both the church lawn and his own. His own lawn had been ignored for two weeks and was now a probable three-pass cutting job. The church lawn had a team that took turns maintaining it and was likely better off without him.
Larry went back to bed.
