I do enjoy the smell of fresh mown grass. I think I'd like a retirement job driving one of those big ride-on mowers.Just came in from a couple of hours of mowing on the zero turn mower. For once nothing went wrong. Oops. Braggin' is bad luck here. I shouldn't invite trouble by saying anything good about anything mechanical I was or will be around. I have such a knack for something going wrong. Tonight I was just careful around the 10" tree stump the mower got grounded on till my brother got here and with a master's patience, released the mower from the X#@&% tree stump last week.
It felt like a steam bucket at first, but as the sun set in the west, it cooled off nice. Also, the evening does not seem to stir up so much flak from the wanna-be straw areas that grow in the 10-ft. areas between the rocky road and the blue fence. It's 1/10 of a mile up to the road, and that is a lot of mowing. Also got the acre directly around the house. Tomorrow, I have to mow some more. It keeps those black poisonous snakes down. I almost ran over one last week, but backed off. You never know when you may need a friend in the wild who knows you refused to hurt him when you had ample opportunity. Of course, a snake's a snake. Oh, well, I let him live. He will probably stay away from the fields for a while now that the rains have almost gone away. Okay, it did rain all night a couple of days ago, but that hotness of Texas in late July can drain a swamp in an afternoon.
Hope everybody has a stellar weekend. Best wishes to gallantwarrior and his partner. Prayers up for the health and happiness of you both, GW. And everyone else, too.
Thanks for prayers up, too! I hope your days continue quiet-like and no more groundings on stumps.
