It's tough to ignore the lawn. I have 2 1/2 acres and it becomes unmanageable if I let it go too long. The warm weather has slowed it down a lot though. My retired wife would do it, but I made the mistake of buying a lawn mower she can't really run. I should have bought a JD for her.
I hope you have a huge mower... 72 inch deck?

Nope. 72" would be too wide for some of what I have. I use a 48" unit. Takes about 2 hours if I don't mess around. Another hour with the string trimmer. I am starting to think *townhome*.

Good morning MN!

Looks like another day in paradise! Hope everyone enjoys the day!

Birthday party was a success. All the kids had a good time. Alissa is a horse lover and got MORE horse stuff. I hope she does not ask for a REAL horse!

Hey Jim, I hear ya on the lawn mowing. I have the same amount of land and it takes me about the same even with a 54" deck. I have a JD and the wife seems to always have an issue with something. I am better off doing it myself. It's my quiet time.
