Just tried out the new EGO trimmer. It is very powerful, batteries charge in less than an hour, but it is HEAVY (huge battery). I knocked out the ditch, culverts & end of the banks near the driveway in just over an hour. Sun was out & so are those blasted gnats! My arms are shaking so they got a workout! Front of property looks great (my reward) & I think 90% of the vehicles that went by waved :-)
It has rained all week - got in 3 hours mowing yesterday & today, before afternoon storms, is my only other window - rain coming in tomorrow & a rainy weekend.
LB’s ‘slow back tire leak’ is getting faster. I think I am trailering it home unless I can find someone to help me tomorrow (guy who services mowers - if he can do tubes while I wait). The big problem is I need an impact wrench to get the tire off, otherwise I’d take it off & just have the tire/tube to take somewhere (farm bureau will put in tubes, I think).
Peonies are in full bloom here - most gorgeous peonies I’ve ever seen.
You need to open your own Lawn Service with all the experience you’re gaining. ;)
(I know - I’m not going back to ‘work’ either!)
Mowing is on my To-Do List for tomorrow, though we’ve had a steady stream of family and friends through here because...PUPPIES! ;)
Our peonies were beautiful this year UNTIL we had rain that lasted a day and a half without letting up. The first to bloom, a pink one, has dropped the blossoms now. The yellow was second to bloom and is still hanging on, but I know the blossoms will only last another day or two. The white with pink, and the magenta will carry on for another several days to a week.
