Can You Guess What This Is?

No! It's NOT Amber Waves of Grain!

It's the FUTURE site of my {vegetable garden}.

It is currently over taken by the incredibly tall grass that is growing there.

Yes, that is grass and, yes it is that tall!

See, what happened was this...

The mower broke!

plain and simple.

The riding mower died on us last summer and, we hired two boys to come cut it for us for a very reasonable price. But...we probably should have gotten them to come OOOONE more time.

It started to get chilly, growing slowed down. Then, it got warm for a few days and, it grew (right here is where I should have inserted a mow). It got chilly again and, it grew some more right before it turned brown and died. And now, we are stuck with a mess.

On the bright side, I was able to take those Valentine's Day photos of The Princess and the Pea using the grass as a backdrop for most of them.

Spring will be here soon enough and, I promise you that the golden grass will be gone before the garden goes in.

I DO know a thing or two about gardening so, this won't be a new adventure for me. See those pieces of wood? Those were the borders for my garden. It has been awhile but, I am excited.

Come on Spring, hurry up and get here!
