It’s been a while since the lawn was cut, primarily due to the fact that it has a tendency to rain just when one is planning to get out there and cut it. Anyone who has ever tried to cut wet grass can attest to the fact that it is not pleasant and more trouble than it’s worth. Well, it’s been looking like it’s going to rain again, cloudy and gray all day long, so we scurried out to get the entire lawn cut. That’s several acres worth by the way.

After the lawn was cut, lots of critters came out. Mostly mosquitoes and…

Denali was having a blast pouncing and rolling Isis in the fresh cut grass. Despite the lawnmower having a bag on it, some grass clippings lingered behind. I thought I’d return the favor and get Denali dirty too. I don’t think she appreciated it.

What’s this? It appears as though something has caught Denali’s eye. Knowing her, it’s probably something that she would like to put into her stomach too! Oh dear, I do hope whatever it is has had access to some miniature exercise bikes and is in tip-top shape. It’s going to need to be fit in order to run.

Denali’s victim of choice this evening is….a grasshopper! Yup, out of the grass came a grasshopper, he’s actually larger than most of the runs hopping about this evening, but he’s only about medium sized in comparison to the ones I usually see. Run, run little grasshopper-san! You can make it. Ganbatte Grasshopper-san, you have to go higher than that. Denali, when standing on her back paws, can reach past that point on the door!

He made it! Yup, the little guy managed to get up high enough on the door and out of reach of Denali’s franctically waving paw. It was actually kind of cute to see her herding it towards the closed wooden door. I don’t think she realized that these guys can climb up walls and thought she had it trapped.

Well, better luck next time little hunter. There were plenty more hopping in the lawn where this one came from!
