My Weekend of Mowing


You can hardly tell where I mowed in this photo, but believe you me I did! We try and mow our field 3 times a year and the earlier the better. It helps cut down on the star thistle which is a nasty bugger, it is less of a fire hazard and heck it just looks better! lol

So I am out there on the tractor acting like I know what I am doing. ha ha, but I have to say it is quite pleasant just riding that thing back and forth, ya sorta just zone. Well that is until you hit a stinking huge digger squirrel hole/mound and ya really bounce all over. Man that makes your heart pump! Especially for a city kid like me. you can see the area I mowed better in this photo cause the grass is longer on this side of the field.

4 hours on the tractor is about all I can take at one time, seems like it would be a piece of cake but golly you do bounce all over the place!

It does give you a lot of time to think, Tracy Blankenship blogged about the computer spread she is sitting on. I am joining in with her SBG (Scrapper's Butt Group) to get off the computer more and MOVE! I sure wish it was as easy to loose the extra poundage as it is to put it on!! :) Maybe I should mow the field with a push mower! ummmm.......NOT! lol
Happy Monday

Your land is just beautiful. The row of trees remind me of a place we just passed in Central Oregon. It was leading to a lavendar farm...very beautiful.
