The old riding mower finally gave up the ghost. With about an acre in lawn, which seems to grow while you watch it, we needed a new mower. The self propelled mower is great for small spaces but not the whole lawn. I mowed twice with the self propelled mower and I swear the grass had almost grown back by the time I finished mowing for two days.
Today we took the plunge and bought a Husqvarna 54 inch riding mower. It took no time at all to mow the back yard and most of the front yard before dark. So glad we bought the new mower! It will make weekly mowing a breeze.
Seeing the mower on the trailer reminded me of the story my mom has told me. When I was about 2 years old, Mom and Dad took me shopping with them. I saw a red trike that Dad let me sit on. When it came time to leave I would not get off the trike. My parents decided to buy the trike for me but when they went to put it on the counter to pay for it... I pitched a fit and clung to the trike. Dad just put the trike on the counter with me on it and paid for it. I rode home in the back seat on that little red trike.
I could not help but thinking I could have ridden home on the mower on the trailer if it wasn't against the law. Silly I know, but a fun thought anyway.
