First Mow Of The Year

Above, having a brew after mowing yesterday.

Since we came off a relatively dry winter and spring, it was only yesterday that Barking Spider Acre got its first mow. Grass and brush were not so plentiful or high this season.

After getting a new battery for the mower, I took the mower out and started mowing. I only did about half when I saw lightning and heard thunder to the south over the Zuni Mountains. That's when I decided to stop. I will likely finish mowing either today or tomorrow. Monsoon season has arrived.

The mower worked fine yesterday. It started immediately after I installed the new battery. The last battery lasted six years, so I figure I got my money's worth out of it.
