If this dew keeps up and we get rain on the lawn, then it will be 'overdew' for mowing. :rolleyes:

If one was at a loose end on a dewy morning, one could begin with
http://www.google.co.nz/imgres?sa=X&biw ... 139&ty=120
which if persisted in would lead to
http://www.google.co.nz/imgres?sa=X&biw ... =124&ty=77
and

etc.... ;)

I mowed the lawns yesterday despite the deweyness of the condition that they were in.
A very lucious mowerous condition occured from the mowing.
Very green :mrgreen:
We had the horses wondering around, and being being excited at seeing the very green lucious off cuts, depositied from my side-cut mower, had to be cautious of what they were eating. :-s
