Rainy Lawn

I forgot to get this posted back in August when it was relevant but I'm going to go with the "better late than never" approach.

This is what happens when you're out of town for two weeks and it rains nearly every day during that time:

I really enjoyed the vacation and am really glad we got the rain to relieve the drought in the area but I really didn't look forward to bringing this back under control.  Tools that didn't work so well: lawnmower and week-whacker.  I ended up using... (wait for it) .... clippers. That's right, I mowed most of our (not very large) backyard by hand.  It took many hours over many days but it was the best way to fell these 18 inch stalks.
