Knee High

Ada's about knee high, but she doesn't stand on her own yet. I have certainly known her since she was "knee high to a grasshopper," though!

Turns out that "knee high by the Fourth of July" doesn't hold true any more. I get the impression that most farmers are pretty worried if their corn isn't knee high well before the Fourth of July.

Because I don't read nearly as much as I should, I thought this was a "knee high," too.

Is there a saying, though, for when you let your yard get so overgrown that it's nearly knee high? A few more days of rain/sun/rain/sun, and I'll be there!
