Found a new use for scissors: cutting grass
TTired of sweeping the floor in the driveway a few times a day decided to do something about the pollen blown over the top of the brick fencing from the overgrown lalang grass of the unoccupied house next door.
Although the corner unoccupied house has a registered owner it has been left vacant for a years. Left unattended the lalang grass grow wildly until they rise above the top of the brick fencing. Strong winds blow the pollen of the lalang flower across the brick fencing into the driveway of the car porch. As a result we have to sweep the floor everyday, and sometimes twice a day to clean up the fallen pollen.
Standing on a plastic chair I used a scissor to trim the flowers and stalks of all the grass protruding above the brick fencing. I know this will not resolve the problem completely but at least it will keep the driveway clean longer. I will continue to trim the grass when they grow back to their current height.

Withering plants
The weather is so hot and dry these few days that the potted plants have started to turn yellowish and shrivel, a sign of withering; in spite of watering them at least twice a day.
A reader suggested spraying the leaves with water in addition to watering the soil.
