A few weeks ago, a friend was over for lunch and commented that we'd be needing a hay bailer on our yard if we didn't get it mowed soon. It's worth noting that he was squelching through mud and standing water as he made this comment. Since then, we've had enough sunshine to make Spring really burst forth with some amazing growth, while not having enough dry days to keep some of that growth tamed into a semblance of a yard. The goats love what is seemingly a large pasture just for them, and the kittens think stalking each other through the high grass is rather akin to their larger feline relatives on the African plains. As for me, the moment there was just squelching and no standing water, I hopped on the riding lawn mower and got to work.
While the mower has a 42" blade deck, I could only do 12" swathes because it was so long and wet that it kept clogging my blades.
I had gotten off the mower just to run in for a bathroom break and came back out to find it raining. Of course. But don't worry - I persevered and finished that last patch in the rain.
Next up - the section we've started fencing off to have an enclosed area for Sam to play.
If it goes much longer, he may very well get lost in there...
...you think I'm kidding.
