I am rather late in posting about this, but I still wanted to show-off our new lawn mower. John's old lawn mower died the first time he tried to use it here in Kansas. The long drive in the moving truck must have just been too much for the old guy.
Freshly cut green grass - this was taken when it was still warm out.
Instead of replacing it with another gas mower, we decided to get one of the old fashioned kind - no gas or electricity required. It's eco-friendly, quiet, and less expensive. And plus, we ordered it online...with free shipping! How could I resist? Having a lawn mower delivered to our door in a cardboard box seemed so cool and novel.I do really like the new lawn mower. But I like it best when John uses it. I didn't realize how much work mowing the lawn would be! whew! It's definitely only good for people with a small yard, since it requires going over each section about 4 times (you have to cut the grass from all angles.)
Now that it is fall and our yard is covered with leaves, I'm wondering how we...and when I say we, I mean John...is going to cut our grass/crabgrass with this manual lawn mower.
Oh, who will notice the long grass if the yard is covered with leaves anyway?
We'll just worry about it next spring.
