Yard work

I've just got to say that mowing isn't really any fun. I do count it as "me" time and that part I really like.

Yesterday my mom and I worked outside from 11:30 to 6 pm. We both raked little limbs from fallen trees until that job was done and then we hopped on our mowers and rode like cowboys. Seriously like cowboys! I hang on for dear life and brace myself against the front of the mower and I charge over the ruts and uneven ground. If I were to guess I'd say we mow roughly 5.5 acres.

The "builders" graded our property but didn't seed so the rain has washed away our dirt for a good year and a half. They also left ruts from their crane or backhoe that make for one jaring ride.

Anywho, the main point is we got sunburnt. Again. It seems that each time I mow I get red, red and more red. Then at the end of the season I turn a little more brown than red and I'm done mowing and done tanning.

Today we were to go out and burn branches and items that pile up that we don't send to the landfills. We both decided to take a break for today and call it good.
