It rained overnight, just about a half inch, which let me slack off on cutting grass until later in the afternoon. I have one more section of grass to cut tomorrow night when I get home from work, and that will be it, all the grass will have been cut. It is an every-two-week thing, and that is not terrible. If I wanted to go non-stop, I could get it all done in one day, probably five hours of solid grass cutting, but breaking it down into sections seems to be working just fine as well. It is cloudy outside right now, and there are mentions of more rain overnight, not a lot, just enough to be annoying. I did manage to get a couple naps in today, and we took the girls for a ride. Other than that, I did a whole lot of nothing much. The coming week will be good, busy and short. Then, watch out for the next week. This is a picture of the back of the house I took yesterday after I cut the back grass. Some of it, anyway.Monger -- Noun. 1. broker, dealer - usually used in combination. 2. one who spreads discreditable information - usually used in combination. According to reports, the singer and actress were a couple, but the rumormongers had it wrong - the two were just good friends.
Did You Know? Peddlers (especially fish merchants) have been called mongers for more than 1,000 years. Initially, it was an honorable term, but every profession has its bad apples, and the snake-oil salesman of the bunch gave monger a bad reputation. By the middle of the 16th century, the term often implied that a merchant was dishonorable or contemptible. Monger is typically appended to another word to identify a trader of a particular type. Some combinations (such as fishmonger) suggest respectable commerce, whereas others (such as rumormonger) imply that a person is spreading information in a deceptive manner.
