    Mowing the lawn during a busy, rainy summer

    Your lawn grows so fast you have to bag the grass clippings and put them on your driveway. You have not had time yet to take them to the Faribault compost site. Maybe I should not have put all the fertilizer on?

    You have not had time to spray the weeds by the shrubs in the front yard. You tell your wife not to worry because no one can see them from the street anyway!
