First Cut Of The Season

Spring is in full swing here at the farm and so it was time to cut the grass for the first time this season.  The last time the grass was cut here at the farm was sometime in October.  Unfortunately we had a fatality here over the winter.  George's Steiner tractor died and could not be fixed easily so it was retired and pulled to the barn to become a project for a later date.  This meant that George needed to purchase a new lawn tractor.   He did a lot of research and he and Tim visited several places  because he wanted to get something that would work well on the hills with zero turning.  So he ended up purchasing a Cub Cadet mower.  It was delivered a couple of days ago  just in time to mow before the rains hit today.  So George spent a good part of the day mowing the orchard and Tim, using the push mower that he borrowed from George, mowed the hillside that is too step for the Cub Cadet.  Now the grass looks nice again, for about a week, then it starts all over again.  George seemed please with his new Tool, I called it a toy but was corrected, so all is good here at the farm.
