It’s lawnmower season

Last week, we had a dry day in the middle of the rain. Farmer Doc hadn’t had a chance to mow the lawn yet this year, and things were getting a bit unruly out there. So he took the dry-ish opportunity to get the lawnmower out and get some work done.

Yes, I think it is safe to say we had passed the time to start mowing the lawn this year.He had to take a break to get the blackberry branches back up in the fence. We will use these blackberries to make our world-famous (well, Southwest Indiana-famous, anyway) homemade blackberry ice cream all summer.

Every fall, we say we are going to redo this fence. Every spring, we wish we had redone it. Watch out for the thorns, honey!Cody and Sadie are pretty happy that they don’t have to walk through a forest every day anymore. Good dogs!He was doing such a good job (and my light was fading), that I thought it was safe to go inside and relax.Then I saw a tractor drive by the front of the house.

I know what that means.

Someone got the lawnmower stuck. In the fence. The electric fence.Yep, it’s lawnmower season, all right!
