Well I just done the first mowing of the year today. Just a small part of the yard but still it was some much enjoyed seat time. The machine of choice is the 2006 John Deere X520.:biggrin:

It's nice down here but hot in the summer. This was mostly wild onions and weeds.

Yea it was fun. A little different than dragging logs and what not. I am going to mow the neighbors (paying customer):biggrin: yard this coming up weekend.

I say hold off on the blower because winter is not over just yet.:thumbdown:

The flowers in the picture are 10 dollars a piece if I hit them. Wish my mother was as lenient as your customer.

I planted chives in a secondary garden plot a few years back, those things multiply like crabgrass...last year I was digging up whole clumps for the wife to take to work and share.

Well, she had two plots of them, and only used one (said the other ones had gone wild, and didn't taste as good - the customer's always right!), so she told me to just mow them over, but not to touch ONE CHIVE in the other patch..........

Don't ding the flowers...
I have some just starting to bloom, that my mom planted Decades ago... she has been gone now for a long time... Every time I see them it reminds me of her... She always said if I could keep from mowing them down, I would come to appreciate them. As usual she was SO RIGHT... :smile:KennyV
