I've mowed my lawn only once this summer. We've had so much rain every day that the grass is always wet. Because we've had so much rain, it's growing fast. Aside from the wet grass plugging up the mower, the ground is so soft, the mower would sink in. Actually, I guess all the rain is a good thing because I've mowed my lawn only once this summer. We've had almost 8" of rain so far this month.

This weather is rough on my dog, though. We have thunder and lightning every night, and he doesn't like either. I as hoping he'd get used to it, but it doesn't look that way.

I would think most of us have pet peeves like habits or actions of others that irritate us. Most of us probably have several pet peeves. Before I mention here this particular pet peeve that irritates me no one needs to accuse me of believing I'm perfect. No one is perfect and I may have habits that irritate others. I'm well aware of that. Okay here it is: People who rest their left foot on the brake pedal of their vehicle when driving causing the brake lights to continuously come on and off. When I see the brake lights of a car in front of me come on I assume that person is braking for some good reason and I prepare to brake if need be.
