Yesterday, I informed you that Rob and I have not invested a penny into our yard. Today, I am letting you know that when I mow the lawn, I mow over a patch that once contained flowers. Perhaps the flowers were pansies, I don’t know.
When we bought the house, the mailbox was sectioned off by a circle of bricks, with flowers planted within the circle. I became increasingly frustrated with making my way around the bricks, so after several weeks, I pulled up the bricks and mowed the entire area. (Should I have prefaced that statement with ‘Graphic language, gardening-lover discretion advised’?)
Fear not, garden lovers. For pansies are, apparently, hydrangea-hardy. Look what I found in the patch of clover surrounding the mailbox.

Lenore's Thoughts Exactly 
You mow the lawn? Me too. Gives me a nice break from the kiddos.
Mowing the lawn and vacuuming are the two things I can do that involve a noise louder than my voices. (smile)
Show me your muscles.
Ha! I have no muscles. I have seriously considered video taping me mowing the lawn when I am mowing up and down vs. side to side. I look awful pushing that mower (not self propelled) up the hill.
Looks like a petunia to me. My husband likes to mow everything I plant. Gives us something to “discuss”.
Hahahahaha! Gives us something to ‘discuss’. LOVE IT! I’m sharing this with Rob. Thank you for naming the flower. I guess that is what was originally planted in that area. I can’t imagine that thing just popping up out of nowhere.
I vote petunia, too. Looks good in a bed of clover. Yes, please place a warning on future posts with such violent content.
I am sorry for the graphic content, Patti. I will certainly add a disclaimer next time. I hope you have recovered.
The petunia did look nice with the clover.
Hahaha… you mean, you didn’t just mow-over the bricks? They’re really just lawn speed-bumps, aren’t they?!
🙂
Oh the things I have mowed over … I’m surprised the blades are still in tact on the mower. Seriously – I’ve cleared ‘forests’ with our mower.
I mowed down some Rose of Sharon bushes once. Bushes I’d just planted, I might add. I have no business touching anything with a motor and a blade. If you ever see me doing that, call the police. I’m serious.
Noted, Lisa. But I best not take the motor and blade from you, as I am dangerous, too.
