The Farmer's New Idea

I've mentioned before that we are having an extremely hot
and dry summer. 
Wells are drying up, crops are dying, pastures have no
grass and temperatures have reached unprecedented highs.
The farmer had an idea.  He calls it killing two birds with
one stone.  What I call it is not printable....suffice it to say I do not
think animals should be pastured in the....
front yard.
The farmer says we are:
feeding grass to the hungry calf and donkey...
cutting the grass without using a power mower, thus being "green"....
I like being "green"...I really do....but i think this is taking our green sensibilities too far....

  4. We used to let our horse graze in the front yard - less money for feed and no mowing required. You just have to do a "poop patrol" now and then :)

  5. Your front yard looks very picturesque with donkey, calf and your pretty white house and the red roof. Is that the front porch where you sit and stitch?
