CAUSE OF DEATH: "PRIDE OF HOME OWNERSHIP"

     I mowed the lawn today.  The office was closed again, so I had the time to trim the grass down to a managable level.  And it darn near killed me.

But the lawn looks good.  For a while. 

     Maybe the middle of the day in late June was not the best time to mow (88 degrees, and not a dry heat, either).  I did end up drinking over a gallon of water to stay hydrated (lest the title be proven real), but .86 acres is a lot of space to either push or be pulled by a 90 pound lawnmower.  The thing takes a bunch of gas (needed to refill twice to finish the lawn). 

     Trimming the hedges and pruning the azaleas will wait for another day.
