Roll On, Sharp Two-Wheeler, Roll On

The Pony got out Wednesday morning and put that new old-fashioned lawnmower to use. Starting with the front yard. It was a warm day, even at 7:00 a.m. There were several water breaks. A blister was formed in what The Pony called, "My thumb crotch."

I'm sure the neighbors will come to appreciate the rolling mower, what with the 7:00 a.m. mowing time. That will be better than waiting until later in the day, especially as summer comes along with its high humidity and higher temps.

Farmer H won't mind giving up this lawn. Though he will be mowing two houses away for the new flip house anyway. He says The Pony's back yard is not bad, because it's a big square until you get down by the house. But the front yard is difficult to maneuver his riding mower. Sometimes he assigns this (paid) task to Old Buddy, his helper with flip projects. Not sure if Old Buddy uses the rider, or a push mower.

If the sidebar stuff doesn't cover it up, you can see the difference in the mowed section, and the upper unmowed section.

This is the front corner, where the city finally cut that little tree out of the ditch in front, which was by that electric pole.

The Pony also mowed along the front sidewalk:

That fluffy section was saved for later. It's hard to mow with the rolling push mower, because the ground is uneven, with little depressions where the wheels get stuck. 

The Pony says the mower is everything that was hoped for. The back yard will have to wait until after the next day's forecast of rain.
