For those of you that know anything about my life, you know that I've been a bit busy. I've been filming a movie, making short clips of dorky characters, playing bass at church, leading a Bible study, meeting with friends, attending a financial class, generally having fun... oh and working a full time job to boot. Funny thing was that during all of this, the snow melted and my lawn woke up from the winter.
Now a bunch of my loving and observant friends let me know that my lawn needed mowing. Of course, I didn't realize this fact myself and appreciated the "help". I didn't see anyone volunteering which was strange, but I digress. Had I followed my father's advice, I would have not let this get into the herculean effort that it became. Approximately 4 hours spread over two days and 15 bags later, I finished mow #1 of the season. I found that I could make it about 100 feet and I'd have to empty out my bag (note the grass being over 10" for a majority of the lawn in the pic). The other frustrating part was that I didn't have enough gas to fill up my mowers tank, so I had to put it off until Sunday. Thankfully we got both weekend days full of sun.
I wished that I was just mulching. This next Thursday, I'm sure I'll be out there doing it again to avoid anything as silly as this escapade...

no gas for your mower? excuses, excuses. you've never heard of siphoning? it's easy. google it.
I have your solution! Get a goat! No more problems w/ running out of global-warming-inducing fossil fuels, no more hauling bags and bags of grass clippings, no more overgrown lawn, PLUS a very fun pet that you don't have to feed or clean up after (his little poops will fertilize your lawn). And you can make cheese w/ its milk. Yyyyes!
