First mowing of the year

Monday, April 29, was the first mowing for this year. That may be the latest I've ever gone, and it showed!

I likely would have mowed a week or two ago, but with the marathon coming up plus the fact I can no longer take allergy meds... I didn't want to risk a full-blown allergy attack right before the big event.

Of course, then I thought maybe I should wait until May. But there is more rain expected and it was tall and tough grass already.

I raised the mower deck to the highest setting and the ol' Craftsman took off on the first pull. Not bad for a $75 mower. It was a little tough getting through some areas, and I probably should have just gone over the whole lawn twice. I didn't though. I am planning to mow again tomorrow - without even lowering the deck. 

One of these days I've got to stop procrastinating about this stinkin' sermon I have coming up. Just can't get anything goin'...
