This summer, you're mine.

For too long, I have had to pay others to mow you. I have been in too much pain to plant flowers, prune brushes, fertilize and mulch.

But as soon as Cleveland Clinic's vasular surgeons are done restoring full blood flow to my legs, I'm coming back.

Lawn mower, rakes and shovels: Your days gathering dust in the tool shed are over.

Shrubs: Stand up straight. You need a major buzz cut.

Weeds: Be afraid. Be very afraid.
