Now see, if I ever do loose my vision completely, I could just get one of these..

Sighted Guide Horse

Sighted Guide Horsey! I want one!! aren’t those CUTE!? They look like miniature ponies don’t they?

Just need someone to build me a barn, and I’d be all set. hehe Of course, the best idea would be to get a goat. sighted guide goat, there we go. Could ride on his back to take me to school, walk me around walmart, and eat the grass from our lawn.. No more mowing the stupid grass, WOOOHOOO!!!! hehe

Ya know, I wouldn’t mind the yardwork so much, if I had a rider. These push mowers are a pain in the butt. hehe. If it wasn’t for them stupid apples that fall all over the ground, and the bees from the rotten apples, and the weeds all around the inside and outside of the fance

At least now I understand why I can’t moe grass. I fussed and fussed with that growing up at my dads house. I never understood why I can’t moe grass in a straight line, until my independent living skills trainer explained it to me last month. She explains, its because I cannot see the blades of grass like normal people can, the lawn just looks “green” to me, I can’t see the grass itself, just the green color, so I am not able to see where the row was I mowed last.. I always knew that, just didn’t know how to explain it to anyone before. So like, when I moe down a row, I cannot see where I just went down, even if the grass in that row was much shorter, it all just looks “green” to me. She explains, that is why I can’t moe in a straight line, and why I miss big patches of grass in whole rows. So in this house, Susan has to moe. I do get out there and help with it though, because its physically hard for Susan to do by herself. She doesn’t have the strength in her arms to pull the string, so I have to get it started for her while she mows it. In the spots I go, its all crooked, and I miss whole rows of grass. Its perdy though, my dad can tell yah, even as a kid he used to get frustrated with me not being able to moe the grass right. but if I can’t I can’t.. She did tell me a couple of tricks to try though, like setting up 2 chairs and mowing towards the chairs. She doesn’t know how big my yard is, but she says for small yards that should work. In this yard it would take me all day to moe that way though, but it probably would work for small yards, smaller then this one I mean. hehe

I still like the goat idea, or just letting it all die and putting out astro turf! yeah!!! isn’t that what its called, that fake stuff, Astro Turf? hehehehe I did find on the internet one time, I can’t remember the website, but I could find it again, about a special kind of grass seed that only grows so tall, so you only have to moe like once a year at most. That’d be MY kind of grass seed! hehehe
