Your story made me laugh. I would have gone back to bed, too! Poor Larry. Thank you so much for writing this short piece and for sharing it. Best wishes to you.

This post made me smile .. and I'm not even sure why. I just enjoyed the read and so many Mondays are such that one should just go back to bed. I enjoyed the chapter. ann

That is some overgrowth that I am not sure a lawn mower would cope with! Larry is one lazy guy who likes his bed too much! A fun write Bill, entertaining, love Dolly x

I can relate to Larry I too like my bed, I had to think about "grass on his lawn" then realized you mow the grass to make the lawn, I believe everyone should be responsible for cutting their own grass, very well written****kahpot

Sounds about right to me. THe sentiment and logic are so essentially "summer" and tempting. I remember the joy of long grass. The picture is a great image to accompany the story.

This is the very reason I have hired a gardener. It is so refreshing to come out of my house and see my yard professionally groomed. I did not have to break a sweat to make it happen. The small amount of money it cost me was well worth it.

    My lawn mower broke down. $140 for one job and $200 for the next. I?ve been clipped.

    I pay my gardener $40.00 a month, sit back in the shade sipping an ice cold lemonade while he sweats in the hot California sun. A win, win. He gets money, I avoid a heart attack.

This is a great tale of procrastination and lack of motivation. You have told it concisely and yet with good imagery, if that isn't too much of a contradiction in terms. Thanks for sharing. Kate xx

Well if he let his own grass go unmowed for two weeks,
then the church group doesn't need his laziness. I enjoyed
your fun story, Bill. It read well with great imagery--esp
the LIWilder one.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Lol! You were describing our lawn last week but it's already halfway to a field of wheat now. We have so much rain that the grass grows and a ton of buttercups speckle that wheat field now along with bamboo...

Larry is a procrastinator as evidenced by his 'hip wide' lawn. He doesn't seem to be a team player either. If this guy is married, I don't think it will last long. Love the verbal image of Laura Ingalls.
