Almost had to bale it!

We finally mowed today! The grass was getting way too tall! Drew worked on our ancient riding mower for 2 hours before it was finally working enough for me to use. And I mean barely worked enough... something is still wrong with the steering though. I had to turn the steering wheel with both hands and with all my strength for EVERY turn! It was very, very, very hard to turn, all the time, in any direction! But... it did do the job, so we didn't have to push mow the entire yard.

And I got a great arm workout!

Hey,(hay) Don't they have any goats up in that country? We might find some to send your way that would maybe keep the lawn mowed for you and raising young goats for meat is highly desired by some people. Maybe the hard steering made your arms feel like mine when I try to keep weight off my surgery ankle using a walker. Started therapy this morning and they highly stress keeping weight off it so it don't mess up the surgery. I think it is doing as expected and does not hurt that much.
