That looks like part of the circle in our house yard that I mow. I would do the flatter part back and forth across, then the slope up and down. It was nerve-wracking for me first few times I did it, but now I can handle it with ease - on a Zero-Turn with NO roll bar. ;)

Beau filled up the tank for me, and today looks like the only dry day this week, so I’ll be mowing my ‘hay field’ again, today. He’s off to the cabin hauling bear bait for the upcoming season, so something will go wrong with the mower; you can bet on it! :)

Yup, first time going down is going to be stomach churning .... either today or tomorrow, probably. When I sit in the driveway & look down the length of the bank, it doesn’t look that bad, but sitting at the top on the mower looking over the edge is a different story.

My new weed eater came (to old house). Mom claims she can’t pick up the box so she doesn’t think I will be able to use it LOL! If she saw the stuff I am dragging & picking up trimming the pines at the edge of the bank, she wouldn’t worry. I am about 2/3 through hauling away what I cut yesterday, but looking out the window this morning, I see at least 2 more branches that have to go. I haven’t even started on the chestnut trees yet.

BTW, there were some bugs on my bay & kitchen windows this morning. They were in groups. I sprayed them with DIY window cleaner & it killed them ...cleans windows well, too.

3 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons rubbing alcohol
1.5 cups water
