Spring is starting to spring here, and the seeded areas of the lawn are perking up. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the sod yet, but I can have patience with that.
While the grass is not yet fully grown in (yet), there are quite a few areas that are long enough that I felt they needed to be mowed. I figured I could handle this, since most of those areas are in the back, which is smaller than our previous back yard. The front yard is quite large, but it is ~90% sod, and like I said, not growing yet.
At some point before we met, Steve bought an old-fashioned type manual lawn mower. Not a push-mower. A manual mower. That was my tool of choice today, and I have to say, I like it! Well, I liked it for my task today, which was a "spot-mow" of sorts. We'll see how things pan out when the rest of the grass comes in.
There is a lesson learned: Must walk the yard and clear of sticks, dog poo and other objects before mowing. I can imagine most people would think this is a no-brainer. In hindsight, I agree. But in my hastiness to get that chore checked off my chore list, I just went out there, guns blazing, ready to mow! I'll remember that for next time, for sure.
