Beth's quote reminded me of my neighbor (Kenny, not Tex).
Kenny bought himself a riding lawn mower last summer. He has no need for one, really. His front lawn is small, and his back yard not much bigger. He cut down all the trees in the back yard, and ripped out all the ivy to plant grass. After he went to all that trouble, I guess he felt he needed a riding mower.
At any rate, he parked this mower on his front porch for the winter to keep it out of the snow and rain. Then, this spring, he hired some guys to build brick planters all along his front porch and front walk-way - nice little knee-high brick walls.
That's when he noticed that the front walk way is now narrower than his riding lawn mower.
I'm picturing him and 5 friends lifting the riding mower over the railing on the porch and over the brick planters to reach the front lawn. It should be fun to watch.
