What Do You Do When...

You have a lot of lawn to cut but your rider mower died? Well, you pull out the push mowers and start cutting.

That's how Dave and I spent our weekend. I used the push mower and he used the brush mower he bought a few months ago to get the real tall stuff, like in the galley in front of the house. Now the grass is again at a nice height and the yard looks presentable. We had about an acre or so to cut. He didn't cut the lower part but instead made a path through it so the ponies will go in and start eating the grass.

Won't happen. They don't like when it's tall like that. What we need are a couple of goats. We really should look into getting a couple. We can even learn to make goat cheese or soap. Yea, okay, sure.

But anyway, at least we got a lot of exercise this week, with cutting the grass and walking all over the Iowa State fairgrounds on Thursday. We had beautiful weather for both too, not too hot, nice breeze and sunny. We even got a decent parking space at the fair too.
