First Mowing

 The neighbors have been cutting grass since February, but I have wisely abstained until this morning.  The crop of thistles in the front ditch convinced me that today was the say to crank up the zero-turn.  A winters worth of leaves has been mulched.  The thistles have been chastised. 

So begins the mowing season that will last until October.  I need to do a little weed-whacking and spray some herbicide, but I am pacing myself.  There is also a burn pile that needs attention, but it is too dry to burn.
