LAST ZEN TIME OF THE SEASON

It was another amazing weather weekend.  We don't get these often in these parts of the state and we have to cram so much into them, ha.

This past weekend, I decided to make one of those "things to do" be the traditional "last mow of the year".  Clear (almost) blue skies, a cool breeze, low humidity, it was on!  Here is the "front yard" after I mowed.  It's clean and neat and tidy.  Oh and guess what else?

The mowing app works again!

They finally rolled out an update to work with the new iOS and now I can keep track once more.  It was a little less time than usual but it was also faster and covered more distance than usual because there wasn't a lot of tall grass to slow me down.  That's why this is the last mowing of the season.  From now on there won't be much growing and once Winter arrives, it'll be March (usually) the next time I have to mow...though I may try to squeeze in some Winter clearing of new areas (dormant/dead) that I like to do before the mower has its annual maintenance.  

Here's a different angle for you.

This is from the fruit tree area behind the house and looking toward the workshop and mower shed.  That corner of the house is the dining room.

Standing in that same spot as above and changing the angle to looking straight ahead, this is another part of the "backyard".  That clump of trees will be the next big clearing project, sometime next year.

We've often thought about what we might like to put in this big space in the future.

With clear skies, a cool breeze and an easy mow, I had a great time on the mower.  So, for one more time this season, here is the happiness on the Zen Machine image that makes me smile. 

More tomorrow!
