Men Sweat

I got a jump on the day yesterday and mowed the front yard before going down to the barn.  While the days are still lovely, they're heating up and, even though I was early, I was sweating pretty good in the barn.  I was going to say "sweating like a pig," but pigs lack sweat glands and cannot perspire.  That's why they look for mud puddles, etc., to regulate their temperature.  I was reminded of Mrs. Speicher, a grand old lady from Virginia who was a neighbor when the Kids were little.  I was complaining of dripping sweat, and she informed me, "Mah deah, men and horses sweat...ladies glow."  There are days when I'm glowing like a thousand-watt bulb.

The plan was to get one yard mowed each morning.  I can't believe that I woke up this morning to RAIN!  So much for planning.
