That’s a good reason not to have a lawn. I wonder how many of that type of injury happens every year?<<<

Far more than we realize.

With the new ride on mowers, there are so many who manage to kill themselves, by allowing it roll over on top of them.

When I learned to drive a tractor, pulling knives or harrows, I was about 12 and worked with my own tractor the full day, my dad never realized that I was a girl.

The real danger was turning to start the next row and having what you were pulling tilt and come down on you.

I remember Luke Bevels, giving my dad holy hell, for rigging such a wide set of equipment behind a beginner.

I survived.

We have a real tick problem here, I have seen dogs that you could not touch, without finding a tick.

And they get in the house.

If you have tick or bug problems, get a flock of Guinea hens, they will patrol the yard and eat anything that moves.

I would love to have Guinea hens! The couple a few houses down has a bunch of different types of hens and roosters. Very unusual and beautiful. We have no one to take care of them when we go away, though.
