I was pleased with my trusty Toro, as it started up on the first pull.  At the same time, disappointed to remember the cable that controls the self-propelled functionality snapped the last time I used it last year.  I do recall thinking at the time that I’d just take care of it come spring …

Micah was also pleased that mowing season has begun.  He’s been “mowing” and “trimming” our family room, dining room, and basement floors all winter long.  He put on his mowing hat, sun glasses, and helped with the entire lawn.

If I can make it through another season without encountering any snakes, I’ll be pleased.

Also just below the grass is our cable line. Comcast went all out burying that sucker … underneath a layer of grass seed. We were too far along in the excavating process to put the garden elsewhere, so we now have a couple flags marking the cable through the middle of our garden strip. Reminds me of other cabling they’ve done.

Thus far the plants are looking good, the sod we replanted elsewhere in the yard hasn’t completely died yet, and I’m still a bit sore from hauling all the dirt, clay, and rock. Nothing quite like weekend work to make you thankful for a desk job.
