We are having a graduation party today for Madison. So, I tried to mow my soaking wet yard yesterday between raining. Not the brightest idea but I got it done. The ground was soft and you know what happens when the blade gets to low and catches some dirt....you make those little dirt donuts in the yard. On top of that, the blades, which are thin as paper these days get bent if they grab too much dirt. Bent blades grab more dirt, and make more dirt donuts in the yard, and mow uneven. After several dirt donuts, uneven mowing of grass, getting rained on, and a small cussing storm (by me) I changed the bent blade and got it finished.....all for the sake of my daughter's party. Why do we torture ourselves for such things? Or am I the only idiot who does such things?
Oh, we spent the last week getting the pool ready, which is almost overflowing with water now thanks to the rain and freezing cold; and, it is going to rain all day so nobody is going to swim.
I know these things are petty in the big scheme of things, my life is still blessed way more than I deserve, and many are suffering much much much more than I. Carry on everybody. Welcome back Eric.
