And in those 2015 days we have done very very little no yard work. I think that we are the only person in the neighborhood who has not done any yard work. We still have leaves from last fall surrounding the flowering bushes and the rosemary.
School and work schedules combined with not having a lawn mower since last fall has turned my yard into somewhat of a jungle.
Grass is taller than Icarus and he is getting lost out there. It isn't hard to do when you are only 20 pounds and no taller than 10 inches at the shoulder.
Backing up to last year, our lawn mower died at the end of the summer season, and we were not too concerned, because we would have some time to replace it. Grass doesn't grow much in during the winter here in Oregon.
This February we decided that it was time to purchase a lawn mower and ordered on from Amazon. I know...I know...but Mark had some particulars he was looking for that were just not available in the stores - like one that wasn't self propelled and that was easy to clean (has a hose attachment for where the blades spin - is there a name for this?). So it came a few days later...but broken. Fast forward a couple more weeks and I finally had time to take it to the repair shop...fast forward a few more weeks and I remembered that I should call and check to see if it was ready...fast forward another week and we are half way through April. I remembered to finally go pick it up.
Yippy we have a lawn mower again!
Weather is looking pretty good for the next 5 days, and hopefully it will be dry enough to
do a first pass. Then maybe the grass will just tickle Icarus' belly when he goes out to play.
