Funny how the sound of a lawnmower is a siren call to the Robins. You no sooner leave the yard and they cover it getting dinner.

 

[chocktaw2]

Post and mow, 1 down, 3 to go.

 

[SEIndSAM]

You can do it CT2!!!

 

[SEIndSAM]

I am 1 down, none to go.

My MIL is in a senior living apartment now, don't have to worry about that mowing anymore.

 

[RedneckReject]

Y'all are reminding me that I need to mow the yard tomorrow.

At least I have a new lawnmower to make it easier

Our lawn guys came yesterday and left the back gate open. I let the dogs out and two of the four took off toward the 473493 people in the middle school parking lot/ball field across the street. Thank God for Costco duck jerky. I rattled the bag and they came right back.

I do my own snowblowing, but I let someone else deal with the grass. We live on a cul-de-sac, so it's a wedge-shaped lot that's 150 ft across the back. These guys weedwhack along the fence around the whole perimiter and mow front and back for $26. If I don't get a job soon, I guess I'll be back to mowing my own.

Fortunately my lot isn't very big, but it's no fun on a hot day. I do the back first because the front yard is the size of a postage stamp. Makes me feel like there's not much left once I get around front

I have been running the chain saw and clearing the damn Mulberry trees from the fence line. They grow like weeds. I got hit inn the left eye by an errant branch and I look like Rocky balboa....well not that bad but it freaking hurts.
Raking and running the leaf blower. Weed eater took a so I will have to replace it.

That's what I used to do with our yard too.

Ny son/SIL run the mower. I would never let the wife cut the grass. She takes care of the inside...we do all the outside.

Howdy RNR, best to just get it over with.

 

[churchmouse]

Break is over....back at it.

My mower is a POS, it's just plain worn out. Gotta get a new one. I was going to get a new one after the first, but the yard was just getting too shaggy. I was surprised the old one started for me today.

I bought one two years ago for $30 from some guy on craiglist. Last week I pulled it out to try and do the yard. Nope. It's finally dead. It had been acting up last year so I expected it. I got my money's worth out of it. I can't complain

 

[mom45]

Got me some SUPER .38's!!
Everybody dance now!!

Not today, hope I can make it Monday! I worked midnights and haven't made it to bed yet. Gonna sleep a few hours then to the hospital with my wife to see her mom.

Everything okay with her mom? Nothing serious I hope.
