Lawn Care

We mowed our lawn for the first time this weekend (I realize that most people have mowed their lawns several times by now, but with 3+/- acres of lawn to mow it's quite an undertaking that requires at least half a day) We finally bought a riding lawn mower last year and that has really saved us time, but we also have a lot of small trees (Art's determination to control the wind) and we still have to take the push mower around each and every one (I used to mow around them with the riding mower, but since I have mowed or run over several of the small trees, I am no longer allowed to do so). A part of me hates the first lawn cutting because our yard is filled with dandelions and violets (much to the dismay of our Round-Up-Ready neighbors) and it's just so pretty I hate to mow them all down.

Here's a picture of Art mowing:
