According to www.urbandictionary.com it “Comes from the idea of looking at a neighbours lawn and seeing it as better looking, healthier and overall greener then your own.”
I don’t think many would envy me my lawn but one of todays neighbours did. I should be embarrassed to admit that, shouldn’t I? The grass is definitely meant to be longer in the paddock but this dear old soul went to a lot of trouble to wrap her chops around my grass.
Can I just add that there is a problem with my mechanical lawn mower – could be the spark plugs I think.
I am just plain old envious of all that greenery in New Zealand. It was interesting to hear that the meaning of the saying was actually what they were talking about.

ReplyDeleteHello Pauline, I stopped in for a visit from another blog (An English Girl Rambles) and enjoyed the photo on this post. Cows are such great photo subjects and the post title was perfect. I read your profile and found out you are also an Aquarian like myself (bday 2/3). Please do feel free to drop in for a visit to our blog (The Frog & PenguINN) as we do enjoy visits and appreciate comments too!
ReplyDeleteI always thought that expression came from just this kind of situation - cattle wanting to break through the fence...
ReplyDeleteOur goats do the same thing - so comical!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA Love it!
ReplyDeleteGiven the amount of grass on her side of the fence I think this lady is making hard work for herself!
