So the other day I mowed the lawn...for the second time this season. I had managed to avoid it all season because my son or son in law would do it. My husband bought a new mower this year so I did not know all of the details about how it worked. After I took a water break I started mowing again and noticed that there were two bars on the handle. I squeezed the "new" one and lo and behold...the mower nearly shot out of my grasp! I had been mowing manually! The second half of the yard was a lot easier to mow at least! Not long after that I went to mow around the side of the house and came across a bunch of weeds growing around the water meter. I figured I better weed them out so that if the water meter needed to be read then they could actually access the meter. I just started pulling them since I had gloves on and I had tried to use the weed eater and it had like 78 instructions on the side and I was like...um, no, ain't nobody got time for that! I forgot to take a before picture...but it so overgrown that you could not even see the meter or the side of the house even. The bush/weed was taller than I was! I started to break the branches off and then I found a meat cleaver on the ground...not sure where it came from (probably fell out of the trash?)
However it got there... the meat cleaver came in handy! Oh..and I also discovered a snake in the yard while I was mowing! It was an adventure for sure!
