I Think I Can, I Think I Can and . . .
. . . I couldn’t. Just a week ago today we mowed our yards for the first time. Today the sun came out and we decided to do the yards before we got more rain. I use my push mower for our original lot (50′ x 260′). By the time the area of the house, garage, patios and gardens come out of that area it is very doable. Today, I could not push my mower through the thick tall grass in the front yard. I tried a half swat and still the mower bogged down and my heels were dug in and my butt cheeks were taut. Dennis came from the backyards with the rider and mowed the front lawn and I proceeded to rake it afterwards. This is what four inches of rain will do with cool weather. Gee, I hate to see what temps in the 60 degree range will bring about for mowing. Dennis said even in the backyards with the multi-blade rider it was impossible to take a full swat.
