Mowing...

I finally had to mow the lawn for the first time this year. It wasn’t something I was looking forward to, but it had to be done. The bad part is that with the constantly changing weather, and my busy schedule, there is only a certain amount of time that I can get the chore done. Last Monday was that chance. It was a good thing too… it rained that night, and the grass would have been too wet to mow on Tuesday.

It’s not that I hate mowing. In fact, it’s nice to be able to get out and just walk back and forth. I put on my earphones and listen to a few of my favorite albums. The smell of freshly cut grass reminds me of those summer days as a teen. I guess it’s a chance for my mind to get away.

Unfortunately, it’s also become quite a workout! Especially when I haven’t mowed recently. The grass gets really thick in patches and I have to push the mower a bit slower so it doesn’t clog up on me.

By the way, it’s a good thing I mowed when I did… with the rain we’ve received, it’s going to be a while before I can mow again!!!
