Thunderstorms

My husband just went out and mowed our lawn. Two of the neighbors had mowed theirs so he thought he should also mow. I didn't think it was long enough but guess it does look more even. I took a trimming shears and cut some long stuff that was growing where it didn't need to be. Then we could hear thunder. The weatherman said the other night if you hear thunder, take cover. I saw on television last night where lightning struck a lady while she was ironing. Lucky she wasn't killed.

Mowing the Grass

It finally rained enough so the brown grass turned green again. Then it was time to get out the mowers. I have my own mower that I am used to. It isn't self-propelled because I can't keep up with one of those. But last year my husband bought a new one and he just loves it. He kind of makes fun of my old mower but it is a full-time mulcher and it just fits me. He thinks it is hard to push but I don't. I guess I am used to it as I have been using it since about l992. It is the best mower, never uses oil and is easy on gas too. But this time when I mowed I think I picked up some pollen and my nose has been running ever since. That is a bummer.

Lawn Mowing

Lawn Mowing is not my favorite job. I guess I mowed the lawn so much as a young person at home that I had my fill of it. My husband loves his lawn. He didn't have a lawn on the old farm they grew up on so I guess that is why he loves it so much and cares for it. He seeds it and puts on fertilizer and trims it all. But now it has been so hot for 2-3 weeks that it is all dried up and won't need mowing for some time. We need alot of rain for it to recover.
