Mowing

Betty told me it was time to mow again.  So I arranged the babysitter and got them all squared away.  Went over and mowed.  Took a few moments to remember everything I had learned about her mower. She gave me orange ties to tie on trees with low limbs.  This time I only got whacked one time so only used one tie.  I know there is a tree in the orchard that gets you if you are just right.  I wasn't just right this time.
Betty had commented on a busy week for her so I tried to make sure I got all the mowing done, even the part she likes to do.  I was almost finished and I got a flat tire.  Oy.  Well turns out she has had a flat before.  I limped it to the garage and she will get it fixed.  And I was almost done.
It felt like deja vu.  Seemed like every time a mower breaks I am the one driving it.  Now to be fair....on the old john deere I was the only one driving it so it had to be me when it broke.
I noticed that Jeannie has one of her boys mowing.  That made me feel better.  It felt wrong to not be able to do that job.  But I no longer have access to a mower to use for her yard.  Guess her son now has the gravy.  That was what one of them told me mowing was. Gravy work.  :P
