After getting back home last monday I spent 4 hours each day, Tuesday - Friday cutting the lawn. While I was gone the grass had not been cut for 5 weeks. I felt like simply giving up, saying the hell with it, and worry about it next spring. But logically, things would only get increasing worse. So I spent 14-15 man hours getting the lawn back to looking normal again. Its only acres on hilly property which normally takes about 3 hours total to cut weekly with the mowers and trimming. The lawn looks great again, but the toll physically was tiring.
The bright spot... Saturday morning we felt for Baltimore to visit family and go to the Maryland Renaissance Faire. It was a good experience as usual, but standing and walking from 10am to 5pm added to the physical issues. Tired, sore, and achy is clearly and understatement. But I still had a good time with family.
