Return of the Black Boogers

I know it's not a very lady-like topic, but "so what!". I've mentioned in another post how in order to cut back on expenses, I've canceled my lawn service. Well, today I was out mowing, eyes watering and sneezing up a storm, all the while trying to avoid twigs and acorn projectiles being ejected from the mower deck (push mower, in case you're interested).

When I was done, I looked like I was wearing black socks, my legs were so covered with dirt. Anyway, and you know where I'm going with this, I go inside to clean up, and when I blew my nose.... ugh! The black, dusty horror in my tissue was appalling. I thought that surely with all the sneezing, I would be spared this particular indignity, but it wasn't the case.

Maybe I should rethink that $140 per month for the lawn service?
