I'll just put it out here.
John has been cheating!
It began a month ago.
He reportedly needed
some body work.
Ha! Don't we all?
However, he had to leave
for a week for his.
No calls. No texts. No emails.
(Sounds like my ex)!
He came home for a week
and before I knew it,
he was gone again.
This time?
A broken joint.
Left me.
In spring!
Our most special time.
Luckily, the lilacs haven't bloomed yet
but still, the grass is so green...
and long.
What could a bunch of men
with tools offer
that I couldn't?
I mean really.
I make sure he has plenty
of fluids
and never complain
about the amount of gas he has.
He's back now though.
He promises me he won't leave me again.
He promises to be true and faithful.
At least for another ten years anyway.
So...
what I can do?
I guess I'll forgive
my Dear, John Deere.
It'd be a very long
summer without him...
in more ways than one.

I almost fell for it, again! Hope you have a Plan B in the wings while John it out of commission. :)
Well, the main thing is he comes home for his summer fling.
Our Ford needs to go have repairs too. I keep telling my husband to call to get it picked up, but he's a procrastinator. And I haven't pushed too hard because I'm not looking forward to the bill.
Very creative . . . Delightful . . . and you had me at the Cheating . . .
So glad you got John back!... we used to have a John Deere when we had our little farm (which I still miss so!)... and Jack's given name is John... so he had a little tractor service, you know, tilling etc, and called it "Lil' Johns Tractor Service"... I miss that too... but I digress, as always... love your fern!... so fun watching the fronds unfurl... wishing you a beautiful day this last day of April... looking forward to May (our birthmonth!)... xoxo Julie Marie
oh, i hate that feeling of being w/o my mower! dreadful! :)
Oh that little stinker! Hopefully he comes back for good! :))
Jill you are such a good writer.
And did you notice that the grass grew even faster while he was gone? Thanks for the chuckle.
Dear John...you are so funny!!
Thanks for the Monday lol/mol
Madi and Mom
Come on John - man up and do your job! Please?
You got me, AGAIN! I have to remember John is your darned tractor. Not the first time, won't be the last, I'm going to remember who "he" is one time!
Have a great new week!!
Hugs,
Donna
I hope your John Deere has indeed improved his attitude! :))
Oh, Jill. I was like what? I could not believe it when you talked about this the first time and now again. I have fallen for this 2 times. Your good.
Our weather here in Miami, is yucky. It has been raining since friday night and just doesn't seem to get any better.
Hope your weather is nice and dry.
TFS. Ana

Oh my goodness you really caught my attention with this one. I was scared to keep reading but I did and then I had to chuckle at how fun and clever this was.

Then I thought...why do they always need work this time of year? Why can't they break down on that last mowing in November...the one you squeeze in..just for fun. Either way, so glad he's back.
