Aborted Mowing

Yesterday, I started to mow Barking Spider Acre. The recent rains have accelerated week growth. 

I was about half way through the mowing when I spotted a bolt of lightning to the south about a quarter to a half mile away. That did it. I proceeded to put the mower and Jeep into the garage.

It was a good thing I put everything away when I did. Right after doing so, it started raining.

I will probably finish mowing today or tomorrow, provided the ground isn't muddy.

The area is starting to really "green up" from the rains we've been getting.

Lightning and mowing is definitely not a good mix!
