Useless Information

For those that think my love of mowing is nuts.......today, you just might be right.

Perhaps my timing was a little off today, choosing to mow at 4 p.m. during the blazing heat of the day. Nate the Great and The Pip were off running errands. Little Mister was blissfully napping. All was quiet. What better thing to do with my short-lived freedom than mow? This is where the nuts factor might come into play.

AccuWeather claims the temperature was 91 degrees with a RealFeel of 100 degrees at the time I was cutting our blades of grass. I could barely get through the last patch without feeling like I was losing touch with reality. The joy in my heart slipping away, I plowed through and finished, walking straight to the hose to cool down. I am sure I looked a fright as I greedily watered down. The heat was rising off my body, my face so beet-red I thought I might explode, wobbly legs and arms shaking and limp hairs flying loose out of my ponytail. Baby, it's hot outside!

Just for a moment today, my thrill wavered...but only for a moment. It was worth it. I am woman. Hear me roar.
