So as I take on the last of Tom's jobs and claim them as mine because I have way too much time on my hands....... At least that is what Tom keeps pointing out to me.
I am learning where the riding lawn tractor can and can not go..... I made the mistake of thinking I could just mow where I have seen him mow and I KNOW I didn't mow it with my push mower when it was my only lawn job with the weed whacking too of coarse.
I realize now that one must take in the consideration of the amount of rain we have been having along with the ground saturation ratio verses run off. In short .... stay away from low lying areas as it has been raining more on then off since spring sprung and what we call yard is now runner up for the label swamp. I think there is a fine line there.
Well I was really getting the hang of it..... avoiding trees..... stumps..... roots sticking out of the ground and pot holes. I was thinking... hmmm.. I could like this part of the job... kind of relaxing when you hit a spot of open ground with none of the above obstacles. "*&^$$&*&* what did I just run over?
Unfortunately the 4-wheeler is not running well.......I have been hoping # 1 SON will soon find it in his "life time" to come fix it. BUT I did have the phone on me so I ended up calling my 80 year old neighbor to bring his wheeler over to pull me out of "the swamp".........
Fortunately soon after I had the 4 swamp puppys in the house and myself showered and recognizable once again it started to rain...... heavy at times.... all night too... in fact it is still raining this morning...... Old Red should look as good as new with the nice rain bath it is getting.
