Ever since the Chipmunk incident (where the mower ran over a nest and almost killed three newborn chipmunks hiding in the tall grass) Linda has been scared to mow. Today, it was time to face her fear! The grass wasn't too long, but the back was pretty think and dense with all the rain we've been getting. She had a scare when she hit one of Chimmie's little bouncy balls and the mower made a sound, but thankfully no living thing was killed. It was hot and very muggy, so she was drenched in sweat. While she worked, she listened to the new Combat release and practiced in her head. Mowing the front/back plus bagging the clippings equals 8 Combat songs. After lunch, it will be time to start the inside chores. After looking at this photo of our backyard, she decided our patchwork fence looks terrible. Maybe she could get a better deal on a new fence and deck! Plus, it's a huge empty yard without even one tree. There are a few straggly bushes in one corner, but that is it. It would be so nice if we had a big tree where Linda could hang a hammock and plant some flowers around the trunk. UPDATE: sorting, folding, putting away and hanging laundry=8 Body Pump Songs! Linda's getting her chores done and practice at the same time!
