The Days Are Getting Nicer

Red and Yellow Tulip, 3

I just got in from mowing - our 1/2 ac. front lawn, and the neighbor's acre. People always ask me if I have a riding mower. No, but DH has a little push mower with the rotating blades, I tell them.

I feel good after all that mowing, even though the scotch broom is in full fire, and other such plants and trees are letting off a little pollen. It was a good week at the gym, too, so this 2 1/2 hours is a nice addition. It is also meditative - all that back and forth stuff - and but made interesting by the fact that there are many little bumps, good sized slopes, quite a few rocks, dinosaurish blackberry vines, and plentiful nettles, just to name a few.

Here is another tulip, again a gift from my aunt.
