For the first time in my life, I mowed my grass in December. I couldn’t believe it. It’s been so warm, and the grass was so green, it just kept right on growing. I’m glad I didn’t take the mower deck off the lawn tractor and put on the snow blade, which I usually do around Thanksgiving.

I was a little irritated at having to mow the grass again, but I guess it’s better than the alternative — a foot of snow on the ground (although we need the moisture). My plans were to work on my newest creation, the Empty Ness Monster. 

You’ve heard of the Loch Ness Monster? Well, this is the Empty Ness Monster.
