Mowing Grass

I got home, ran inside to change and then fired up the lawnmower.  Our friends, Jimmy and Millie, are coming to visit us from Vidalia, Georgia this weekend and I wanted the yard to look nice for them. 

Since I will not have time to cut it on Thursday and they arrive on Friday I had to do it tonight.  The yard was very dry, since it has not rained in our area for quite awhile, and by the end of mowing I was covered in dust. 

After I finished mowing I cleaned up the patio, edged the front walkway and curb and then used the weedeater to neaten up the flower beds.  It took me a little over 2 1/2 hours to finish and the yard looks really good now.  I like how it looks immediately after the grass is cut and everything is neat and clean. 

Since I have engaged in manual labor this evening I think that tonight I will watch baseball, drink a beer and relax with my dog.
