In which i mowed in Vermont
I bet you guys are thinking to yourself: So Lynn, what in the world do you guys do in Vermont. Good news: I’m here to tell you.
We arrive in Vermont on a Saturday.
It was a bit of a stressful day because Daniel had just gotten pick pocketed. (See this post)
By the way, Keely’s response to that was “That was stupid of Daniel to allow himself to get pick pocketed” like it was a choice. Hahaha my kids are idiots
Then I had the entire “refrigerator situation” (see yesterdays post … or don’t)
Then Kevin announced that we would do the yard
The yard? The yard is 3 acres … it’s not a small assignment.
We had already worked out … but I was game
Especially since I got to do the riding mower
Speaking of the mowing … good music is imperative
Especially with 3 acres
Which is basically 2 hours of solid mowing
And that’s at top speed
And did I tell you that it’s sloped because they’re on a mountain?
Cuz yeah, this is VERMONT!
At any rate, normally I think Kevin’s musical choices are boring … I mean they’re all old school.
BUT … for mowing the lawn the music rocked. And I rocked while singing out loud
For a solid two hours
SO I was mowing the lawn
Which was about a foot tall
And it took forever
And the cruise control didn’t work when you have the mower floored
And poor Kevin had to do the trimmer
Which seriously sucked and took him two hours also
And then John walked down and said that I needed to check for ticks
And then I got completely paranoid
Because ticks … YUCK
And umm, I don’t want Lyme’s disease
Would you?
But we did it … I did a somewhat lousy job
Because the ground was so uneven and bouncy
Not to mention I was flooring it
But it was done!!
And here’s a picture:
I’m incredible but that’s not all I did that day!
But that’s the next post
About the garage … and a mouse … and her little mousling babies
uggghhhhhhh

That picture is beautiful – cut grass and all!
thanks
Already kind of dreading tomorrow’s post ~ mice make me MENTAL!!!
good news…I haven’t written it up yet
It would take a couple cocktails for me to take on such a project – and that’s just to overcome the allergies. But the photo of your finished work is nice!
Jon Hanson recently posted..Uhh.. Hello?
well it was better then doing all the trimming so I’m pretty satisfied
a few sheep would take care of that lawn.
