You Mow, Girl

Have I mentioned, a lot of mowing happens here? Between the farmhouse, and the cabin, I estimate about 5 acres get mowed, at least once a week, both places, during this hot humid growing season. It used to take about 4-6 hours just at the cabin. Not counting weedwhacking.

So an investment was made: 3 more riding mowers. Now that at least 3 of the punks can rotate on the riding mowers, and two can run a whacker, and if Carrie isn't busy making bread, it can now be done in about 2-3 hours - if everyone stays on task.

Carrie has this down to an art. She can do it blindfolded. She can do it with no hands - almost. She can do it....
...with a glazed look. Um. Well. Hello?
Hello? Hello? Ah. I see.

Do you see? Another investment that has made mowing much more appealing. Since you are going around and around, up and down, back and forth, rather unthinkingly after about the 102nd turn, it helps if you have
MUSIC!!!


You mow, girl. You mow.
