Options must be kept open. After a bit of Saturday house work, Dennis and I hit the yard work. There is no way we could complain about mowing the grass as it is lush and beautiful for this time of year. I knew I could either rake off the front yard of heavy grass clippings or . . . I could try out attaching the bag for grass clippings. In all my years I had never worked a lawnmower with the bag attachment.
Dennis made a few modifications on the mower and showed me how to attach and detach the bag. After a show of moral support with a pat on the butt, he headed for the east yards on his rider.
I was very pleased as to how the yard looked after each swat. The downfall I would have to say is that the mower had to be shut down each time I had to empty the bag, and that was quite often. On the up side, thankfully the mower does start with one pull.
Here it is, the middle of the afternoon and we are cleaned up and ready to work at a VFW event from four through eight this evening. A full day, but a very rewarding day. There will be some windows cracked in the house this evening for lots of fresh air to assure a sound night’s sleep.
