Unlucky Days

The past two days have been very unlucky for me. Here is how the bad parts of them went.

Yesterday....3:00PM: Went out to mow a lawn. I got the front done, then had to stop because the sky was as black as night and I didn't want to be stuck outside during a severe thunderstorm.

Today.....8:30AM: Was about to finish a lawn when it started to rain, lightly at first. I finished up the trimming, but then the rain got harder as I finished blowing off the sidewalk. I got soaked!

Today....11:20AM: Grass was dry enough to start mowing and then after getting the front and side yard done it started to pour so I stopped. I tried to blow off the driveway....which is hard when the grass is stuck to the wet concrete! It then started to thunder. I got so wet...again!

More steady rain moved in....so no more mowing today!
 
:laughing::laughing: Join the Club. Down here in Florida that's an everyday occurrence, there called east and west Sea Breezes colliding. We start out with wet lawns everyday. Between the rain from the day or night before and walking out the door like this morning with 84% humidity we never get a chance to dry out.

Ya woke up this morning we got 1/2 rain this morning so slow going day for me
 
In the last week it has rained twice. Four days the first tie and three days the second time. We were on the verge three weeks ago of being too dry. Don't see that happening now for a while. Hopefully to at all this summer in fact.

Yeah I am still on a 5-7 day mowing schedule with my lawns. Usually by this time I only have to mow them once every two weeks.

Don't you remember how much fun playing in the rain was when you were a kid? What happened to that? Next time I'm off and it rains I'm taking my 4 and 5 year olds out to jump on the trampoline.
 
Well we have not had rain in awhile! And last week had highs 95+ degrees (not to mention a dew point in the mid 70's and a heat index around 105!). See picture. So the grass is drying out, and I'm going from a 7 day cycle to around a 10+ day cycle for lawns for now.

I would love to go a day with no rain. We have a flash flood warning every day for about two weeks now.
We get to some yards and just take a pic of the standing water and move on to the next
