4. 6/9 - I mowed the important areas, but still have another acre to go if I want to make things look pretty. I don't have a working push mower anymore, just an older riding model. I ran out of gas, a tire went flat, and the mower might be stuck in park as well. It all happened at once, pretty weird. The tires are really old and have many cracks, I've been expecting this. As long as the engine works, I can fix the rest of it.
I think the rain is going to just miss me. That works for me, the ground is very green already. The deer have plenty of grass to eat, but there's also a ridiculous number of insects out there. It beats last year, tall dead grass and wildfires everywhere freak me out.
