Still mowing

Some of this heavy ground just doesn't dry out. Did a job today that I did back in June. Doing one tomorrow for the 6th time. Mostly to make it look good. This guy has a barn he uses for parties, and wants the ground to look nice. With my flail mower I can get the blades within an inch from the ground. I do hit the dirt sometimes. Stan

Soon it will be the rainy season in SoCal. I'm surprised the Santa Ana winds haven't dried everything out by now.

Things are so dry in Terre Haute, I can't remember the last time I mowed my lawn.

There hasn't been a lick of drought in all of CA for around three months. Pretty neat to see.

yesterday was the first strong wind around here for the year. The wind came up after I had been mowing for a while. I should have stopped because of fire danger. If I had been mowing wild oats I would have. but I was mowing mostly tumble weeds, and I had a good fire brake around the field already. Stan

George if you came up here you would be stuck trying to mow yard now. We got another inch or 2 of rain 2 days ago. Now hoping we can finish the beans in the next 2 days before it freezes. then on to corn. Fields around here were plowed with combine tires this fall in a lot of places. Ditches already there just drop in the tile and back fill.

Thought I did my last mowing job two weeks ago. A woman just paid off her last winters snow plowing, and asked if it was too late to mow. Im debating whether to try it, with a couple inches of snow, and wet ground underneath. Th prospect of slow pay doesnt encourage me a whole lot either.

Sounds like a good situation to steer clear of. Permanently.
