Difficult but not impossible
Ah. Freshly mowed. Can you see the mower?
Okay, how 'bout now?
That first picture? That's about half of the back yard. And there is probably twice as much in the front. And it is ALL done.
Good thing I had it sharpened before I moved.
But you know what? I really like mowing this way. And it is awesome exercise because this place is mostly NOT flat. Much as I enjoy the mowing, this ancient, heavy, 13.25" baby is going to be replaced by a sporty new model, German no less. It is ordered and shipped. Here's hoping it gets here soon!
And I promised to have some knitting to show you.
Not bad, eh? Unfortunately the raglan was too deep (my error) and the front just didn't fit acceptably, and I didn't like the neck shaping. So it has been frogged back to the joining point at the underarm. Also difficult but not impossible.
Hey, isn't about time for some pictures of snow up there? :-)
My sister has a cool mower like that, but she lives in Salt Lake City where 1) Grass grows very slowly because it's very dry and 2) Her yard is the size of a postage stamp.
Watch out for Hurricane Bill and stay safe!
Yes, but did you take the sweater down to the Frog Pond to rip it back?
Congrats on your new mower! I hope it gets to you soon :^) I love reel mowers, thanks for the link. They actually have a model that has a cutting height of 3.5/3.75 inches, we have fescue and in our heat we keep it tall throughout the Summer months.
Just the scenery makes that worthwhile. The exercise is a bonus.
Reminds me of when I lived in the country -- took me five hours to mow the lawn, which I actually enjoyed doing, except during mosquito season. :-)
Sorry about the sweater, but I love the cabling in the front!
