| I got a call from somebody who scheduled a pump-out for their septic tank Monday 9:00 a.m. She needed help finding her septic tank... |
 |
| 58 minutes to mow the Upper Orchard. It will go more slowly when the grass is thicker. The fact that I didn't have to mow between the trees where I spray herbicide made it go more quickly. |
I was able to mow an additional 34 minutes on the Hill Orchard before I ran out of gas.
More mowing planed for Monday.
---Note added Monday at 5:00 a.m. Our thermometer reads 30F which is MUCH better than the 24F to 25F that had been predicted. Two more hours until sunrise. Maybe we will get lucky and dodge a bullet.---

Bless you and that push-mower brother. I consciously made the decision to purchase a 36" walk-behind instead of the 42" or 48" model, because I reasoned it would get me more exercise, that I needed, and was cheaper to boot. I question my logic sometimes, usually as I'm about to start up the mower.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't so bad in the cool weather. In the summer I need to wait until 11 for the dew to evaporate. By then, it is starting to get warm. Mowing in 90F heat-index for any length of time will really slow me down. "Drive by the temperature gage, not the speedometer" as the driver of one old-jalopy once told me.
DeleteI have to do our ‘yard’ in sections, one day at a time. Doing the whole thing is overwhelming. I’d guess it’s about an acre, but it’s not flat; there’s things to mow around: garden, clothesline, greenhouse, sheds, trees, etc. The outlying weedy sections are being neglected lately

We had one for years at our first house in New Home. The lack of "noise" was appreciated as I walked back and forth.
DeleteStruggled with the wet grass as well.
I had the same problem finding my septic tank cover. after I found it I put down a used home plate from a local baseball field that was replacing them. Field of dreams and all that. :)
ReplyDeletePut some scrap metal on top of the tank cover. Then a metal detector will help easily locate it.
ReplyDeleteI marked my septic using a bird bath after the new mowing crew shattered the plastic cover.
