Then you just have a lot of trees to mow around!!!!
When we were first married we moved a trailer house out to the country and we had to start a yard....grass, trees, and everything. Glen had dug up a pin oak tree that he was so proud of and planted it in the front yard and he had been babying it.
Well.....his Mom and Dad had bought a new Grasshopper lawn mower.....one that you drive with handles instead of a steering wheel........you push forward to go forward......pull back to go backward........pull on one handle or the other to turn right or left. It's very easy to learn and they cut really close to things.
One day I was mowing the yard and I came up to the pin oak tree which was planted near a slope. I started rolling down the slope......got confused.....and pushed and pulled.....pushed and pulled the handles!!! Yep.....next thing I knew I had a pin oak tree shoot out the side of the lawn mower!!!!! I could have died!!! Thank heavens Glen wasn't very upset!! The funny thing is that the tree lived and is still growning at our old home place!!!!
