This entire week has been pleasant. I have had quite a few sessions on the patio enjoying the scenery of our acre. This afternoon Dennis joined me and we shared some jelly beans celebrating a good day with the lawnmowers.
Mowing the yard does take the two of us more time than most would need. Our yard has lots of bumps. It is great to have a rider lawnmower, but . . . the seat is a far cry from an air ride suspension seat. My push mower has the bag option, and I have been using it on the front yard. It sure makes for a tidy appearance. About the third trip that I had taken to empty the bag, Dennis flagged me to the patio and it was a break time. That happened several times. With the weed whip loaded with a charged battery, it finished the yard off perfectly. I finished the trimming while Dennis already had the leaf blower out and cleaned off the driveway and the patio area. Tidy, tidy.
The day is drawing to a close and us older ones on Stauffer Avenue may be pooped, but it brings self satisfaction of being good stewards of our sweet home.
