I'd made up my mind yesterday to haul the riding lawnmower to the repair shop to replace the blades and do a tune up. Just before I left, I did a YouTube search on how to replace the blades.
I've done this procedure on my old lawnmower and it was a pain, but the video showed a new way that looked much simpler.
About 30 minutes later, the blades were replaced and I still had the $75 in my pocket.
Today, I cut the grass down in the field between the house and barn. I was in my own little mowing world when I saw a small patch of wild yellow daisies. I steered hard right and avoided cutting them down. Pulling the phone from my pocket, I snapped a few pictures while the engine idled.
Now we can stop and smell the daisies when we walk each day.

Good job, Rick!!
ReplyDeleteI cut grass once and avoided cutting down a cluster of mushrooms. I later painted them like a smurf village. I want to do it again but never see them growing anymore. Glad you got the blades on!

In your case a penny saved is a daisy earned.
