Piper paying

There's been overwhelming growth in the yard, and it needed to be whacked into order, or at least a semblance of it; or at least passable if you squint hard or look at it in the dark. Untethered grape vines sought blindly for footholds all over the deck, and their clippings filled up our yard waste container; the grass about killed the mower, but it got its trimming. They say you should let it get longer in hot weather, although "They" probably don't mean hayfield length. No matter, it's tidier now. It stayed green throughout the hideously hot week sans extra watering, so that was worth it.
Eliot's Daniel Deronda is quite captivating; somehow she was able to present a completely viable version of the workings of a twenty five year old man's mind. The struggles and thought processes Daniel undergoes are universally valid.
