Well that annual war of the lawn started tonight. For the first time this year I mowed my lawn. Yea, I know itÂ’s may already, but dammit! I hate mowing my lawn! I pressed Boopie into service this year. Since our grass was about a foot long, and IÂ’m not kidding, it was probably closer to 11 inches, but it was damn long, I couldnÂ’t use the bagging attachment. Well I guess I could have, but why when IÂ’d have to stop and empty it ever ten feet. Instead I converted it to the mulching mode and let Boopie rake up whatever I didnÂ’t mulch. That would be a lot if you really wanted to know.

I think it might be because itÂ’s early in the season, but there were no wild animals waiting in ambush in the grass. But I did discover a couple of things. Like there is some kind of animal that has burrowed into my front yard. IÂ’m not sure what it is yet, but itÂ’s not going to be around for long. Secondly, I found out that those plastic soft-air BBs from the guns I bought Boopie for Christmas hurt like the dickens when they fly out of a mower and hit you in the leg. I may have to re-think how I set up the shooting trap for that. Obviously they arenÂ’t all staying inside the one I have now.

Hopefully the rain holds off so I donÂ’t have to mow again next week.

1 I cheated... I paid my cousin to cut the lawn. It won't be too long, and I'll cut it down to the ground for the summer.

2 Oh, don't worry, you WILL have to mow the lawn again next week!
That's not a suggestion
