what is up with this?!

i had to mow the yard yesterday!  november 1st and i was mowing the stinking yard!  i thought there was some kind of deal with God that we are cursed and have to mow, BUT he was going to give us, who live in the midwest, some grace and not make us mow after the middle of september.

i think eric barb got me to thinking about this in this post about hair...

what other kind of unwritten deals do we have?
