Frog legs anyone?


When I first got the riding lawn mower, Wow! it was fun to mow the lawn, and it still is, but how do you mix fun and guilt at the same time? This was the second time that I felt bad mowing, and its all the stupid frogs fault! (Maybe toads?) I try and dodge the little guys but is some parts of my yard it not possible! When I see them frantically hop hop hopping away from me, I slow down and avoid them, but when I'm in the taller grass, I cant see them till its too late! Poor little guys, the vibration of the death machine must fill them with terror! I wonder if that's why I get ravens on my lawn after I mow? I'm slicing and dicing
their dinner for them! Today, when I got done mowing, I could see some spots that I missed, like a drunk on a mower! ( I swear that it was ice tea in the cup in my cup holder!) I could see where I weaved in and out, so then I had to go back over those parts. That might be why it takes me 2 and 1/2 hours to mow! So maybe the pic of the lawn mower should be A.K.A. " slicer and dicer"
and the pic of the side front lawn should now be called "frog grave yard?"

  1. Aaaahhhhh. I would have a very hard time mowing that lawn. Do you know I feel guilty sometimes swatting flys. They're only doing what they're meant to do. How would I like it if a big giant swatted me to death just because I was walking along my peaceful forest path?

  2. Wildlife expert Tim sez: You have a toad graveyard (not frogs) and you probably don't have ravens, you have crows. Then we started talking about "O Brother Where Art Thou?" and were reminded that "we thought you was a toad!"
