I'm leavin

on a jet plane...

don't know 

when I'll be back again..

oops, that was a mistake.

we're actually gonna load up

a trailer

and go get some

composite decking

for 

the back porch.

be still my heart.

Emanuel and Antonio

are working hard

on the roof.

Preston has been working hard

on the stairway to the basement.

I am on my way out to

mow.

Isn't this the time of year when

things dry up 

and turn brown?

Parched and dry...

dormant?

Not this grass, vines, poison ivy

pretend blackberries, and honeysuckle!

No parching here. Just green green tall grass

all around.

And so I mow.

And then I'm

leavin on a jet plane,

don't know when I'll be back again!

Just kidding.  I like to be silly on Mondays.

It's August - the month I hate most

in all of the year.

So be gentle with me.

I'm trying to get August cancelled 

and I have decided to pitch this idea

to my congressman.

Just think how much money

we could save if we just

eliminated one month out of the year.

We could probably bring the deficit back under control.

Im surprised  chairman  O hasn't already thought of this.

It's just wrong. 

OK, I'm through ranting.

I'm off to Walmart for milk, coffee and a new box of crayons. (Before they are all gone, it being August and all.)

Welcome, August.
