depotguy's blog post - I'm worried

Friday, May 22, 2009, 1:59:55 AM

I have always been critical of large lawns. They really are an enviromental disgrace. That being said.....mine just keeps getting bigger and bigger! I took the tractor out in the field beside the house(It hadn't been cut in 20 years)and it's so damn pretty I want to keep it cut like MORE lawn. I have a 48" deck (making sure I used an e instead of an I) on my lawn tractor and it still takes me 5 hours to mow.

I think part of my problem is this is a way for me to feel like all this is mine. It seems sort of odd to have all this land....being a city boy for so many years.

On other farm news the guineas are getting BIG. When I went down to feed them this morning they were all lined up along the top edge of the box they are in.....so proud. They are 3 weeks old and a beautiful gray blue color. I got 45 new chicks yesterday but 5 have passed on to the big henhouse in the sky. A little sad about that. I tried.

Later peeps.

Mmmm, 48" deck... That's a lot of wood. ;-)

And sorry about the five chicks that died, but you have 40 that are still needing you. It's the way of the farm.

Go with the goats or sheep.
