The Lawn Meter

I'm one of the people who failed to get their lawn mowed before it rained each of the past 6 or 7 days, so needless to say it's been getting a little out of hand. The grass was long, okay? Yesterday it finally quit raining long enough for me to get out there and cut it, and as I did, my neighbor (who had cut his) came over and presented me with this handy, helpful, and from the looks of it inexpensive, "Lawn Meter" so that in the future I'll have a better idea of when it needs to be cut. You can see on the right end of the scale that anything up to about an inch is "OK". Thanks, Spencer. I love living next door to a guy whose lawn is usually so shabby it makes mine look good. Takes the pressure off of me.
