Mowing

Logan came and mowed for the first mowing of the season.  Seems too early, but the grass was growing and it had been dry for a few days.  Rained after that and the backyard is a soggy mess.  Guess we timed that just right.
Before he came I got out in the backyard and picked up all the garbage that has accumulated.  Toys, pop bottles, dishes, etc.  I am always amazed at how it goes to pot every winter.  I wanted it to be as easy as possible for Logan to mow.  I just loved all the dog poop out in the yard.  There hasn't been a dog here since last spring. There is a fence board missing.  Now the neighbors on the other side put a play structure in front of it so the kids that get babysat there wouldn't come through.  The play structure doesn't stop their little dog.  I just didn't realize their little dog thought this is a bathroom.  I was really tempted to pick it all up and toss it back over the fence.  That's what I do with the garbage they throw in my yard.  But alas I did not.  And I tried to cover the hole better until someone can put up a new board.
I filled one black garbage bag.  It is the first of my next dump run pile.  And the grass looks better.
