The grass had grown, it's been over two weeks since I last mowed. So it was time. It's funny, when it's longer it does have a nice green color but seeing in person is different. It needed to be mowed. Plus it makes moving around with equipment and stuff easier for the workers moving around the house.
It's funny, I mowed less than I used to, but it took almost as long as it used to. That's because it's a lot of going around and around and turning on the blades, getting to the new driveway/road and turning it off, then driving down onto the sides and turning it back on, then off so I can get back up on, etc. Lots of repeating areas. Once the house is done, that will change. I hope they clean everything up at the end and make sure all the large chunks of concrete, pieces of wood, hardiplank scraps, pipe pieces, etc, that are hiding in tall grass will be taken away.
But I finished and it looks better. Now, you might be able to see around the shed and barn the tall grass that would normally be taken down by the weedeater/trimmer. It died. For good died. Gave it to someone to check last weekend and they confirmed that it's a goner. It had a good 10+ year run, but all good things must come to an end, ha. Time for a new one. Until then, I can't trim and that is evident in the next picture.
First off, we have apples! There are about six on our Dorsett Golden apple tree. They are a bit small but the tree itself is still smallish and add in the fact that I wasn't able to regularly water this Spring.
But we can now, ha!
Anyway, you can also kind of see in the background of this picture the orchard area is in desperate need of the weedeater but alas, not this time.
Off to shop for a new one.
Tomorrow another house update...electrical is done!
The yard always looks so nice and neat after being mowed.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the weed eater but it lasted a long time.
Your apple looks beautiful!
Where you have mowed; looks great.
ReplyDeleteOh, that apple looks delicious. Many more to come along. Just think; won't be long when you wake up in your new home, go outside to pick an orange or 2 and have fresh squeezed orange juice in the mornings.
Is that another apple tree in back ground or is that a lemon? Kinda a bit blurry picture, so not able to tell what it is.
Hubby had to get himself a new weed wacker last year.
Hope you enjoy your day and you both have a wonderful and blessed week end.
