On another note, Mrs. NoC inquired as to when I was going to shorten the advanced grass substitute. So I checked the weather prognostication. It looks as if I will be forced to ride the Little Red Riding Thing today as they are indicating that tomorrow will be soggy.
Good luck with the growing groundcover. It has been raining all day here. Epic Fail Lawn Service is baking desserts and playing computer games, sigh.
