Good intentions don't mix with rain

[missmaryr]

I have a large yard- about 3/4 of a acre. I mow it with a self-propelled mower right now. I split into three sections and get it down over three weekdays, counting it as my exercise for those days- after all, I'm walking from 45 min to an hour at a time. Usually I do this after dinner.

Well, today I got work a little earlier than usual, and I decided to get out and mow.

Bad move. It was hot, with the sun beating down. I stopped after half an hour, with only a small part of the very end of the back yard left, to get a drink and rest a moment.

And it rains. For a bit, it's light, and I hope to get out and finish that small part. Then the thunderstorm passed by, dumping some heavy rain for about 20 minutes before it leaves. Just enough that I can't mow.

So much for good intentions. Argh.

That's a big yard! I have 1/3 acre, that I usually split over two days. Mom's been helping me mow this spring/summer since I'm so swamped with the wildlife babies. It is good exercise!
