Argh! My neighbors all have very neatly manicured lawns. Then there's Ruby's house on the corner. Mr. Ruby told me the lawnmower wasn't working. I thought it was jive to get out of yard work but apparently he was right. Sigh. I have an eco friendly rechargeable battery powered mower and it seems there is a short in the wiring because it's fully charged, runs full strength for two seconds and immediately dies. A trip to the shop is in order.
I've got other work to do but it is a shameful jungle.
