bronwynrhIt's a beautiful day outside, and I'm sittin' inside, being lazy after doing a flurry of chores. The windows are open, the kitties are perched in the sill. I look out to see our neighbor working in her yard. This is the woman who mows her lawn several times a week, sometimes more than once in a single day. She's a little weird.
So I look out, and what is the view that greets my eyes? Big white asscheeks, divided by the black stripe of her shorts.
I reached for my camera, but the batteries were dead. O the humanity!
I've replaced the batteries. . . now I watch and wait. . . *devilish grin*
Oh, I am eeevil. More pics in the gallery, here.
I just can't stop laughin'!
1 hour later: She's mowing. Third time this week.

Date: October 3rd, 2005 08:03 pm (UTC)What's her name?
Nell, sir; but her name and three quarters, that's an ell and three quarters, will not measure her from hip to hip.
Then she bears some breadth?
No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip: she is spherical, like a globe; I could find out countries in her.
and it just goes downhill from there...

Date: October 3rd, 2005 12:12 pm (UTC)She's very regimental in her gardening. There's a row of daylillies along the fence, alternating in color, of course. then there's something else squeezed in behind them - right up against fence. The never grow much, so I don't understand the point. It's weird. She lets some things go that shouldn't, but is absolutely anal about others.
In any case, she seems to feel as though it's time to mow whenever the lines disappear from the last time she mowed - which comes out to about three times a week.
what happens when winter comes?

Date: October 3rd, 2005 06:06 pm (UTC)I didn't pay much attention to our neighbors last winter (our first here), so I'm interested to see how our OCD friend deals with it :)
I was there once, in autumn

I really miss being in a small-but-biggish city. You know, a city that can honestly and justifiably call itself a city - as opposed to Iowa City and Coralville, which only qualify as towns, imho.
I live in tinytown too..

Date: October 3rd, 2005 11:55 pm (UTC)I think I just miss Prospect. Small, country, but just a stone's throw from Louisville, and less than a stone's throw from great eating and shopping.
Here, we feel as though we're in a very dull vacuum.
The pictures you posted looked nifty, by the way.
