Well don't you look so cute on your lawn mower! I love your yard! I'm glad you all now have a place to park your camper too.
I enjoyed your pix! ![]() |

I know it's hard to remember, but you look like you have so much fun Gayle I'd love to see more of your at home pictures.

I love the picture of you on your John Deere!!!! I bet you've found that it is just the handiest little thing to have!!! I've been using my 4-wheeler to carry things around the yard for me!!!
The stuff on the side of your storage building looks just like what we have on the side of our garage that nobody sees!!!! And the swing looks so comfortable and I'd love to sit and chat with you with a big glass of iced tea!!! Your yard is so nice and big!!! I know that you'll love it especially since you have a nice mower to mow it with. We made our yard small because we knew that the kids would be moving out and it would be left to me to take care of. I can see you out there with the family having a big picnic!!! Very nice!!!! |

LOL! Diana, like you, we should have a smaller yard that is not so much to take care of. But we have had a postage stamp size yard for 25 years and we both wanted so much to have more yard space. We really should be downsizing, not upsizing. LOL! Thankfully, I can afford to have someone mow the yard every other week. That's all it needs now with the dry weather. But when we finally start getting rain, I will have to mow it occasionally myself. I knew I couldn't do it with our push mower so i got the John Deere. I hope we can enjoy the yard for a while and that it doesn't become too burdensome. We really enjoy it now, for sure.

That's funny.....because at our last house we had a large yard and all around the barn and buldings to mow. The kids usually had to do it but there was soooo much to mow and go around that when we moved we decided to go smaller!!!! You don't look like you have too much to mow around so it shouldn't be too bad!! Try mowing around 10 or more pieces of farm equipment!!!

We live on an acre, but mowing around everything is annoying. We have the house, little garage, big garage, shed, wood pile, trash barrels, row of evergreen trees and 8 trees....lol. I told Rick we should plant a bunch more trees so we won't have to mow....just live in the woods....

No we don't have much to mow around. The shop and 2 storage sheds are all clustered in one corner of the yard and as I said, I don't mow much

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!!!! |
