Sitting on my fancy new (well new to me) riding lawn mower in the drive way brought me back to all the fond memories of my childhood.  We had a temperamental lawn mower that  stood up to two kids driving it as well as my mom.  When I called my mom to tell her about my lawn mower we had quite a few laughs about the lawn mower.  My dad lovingly referred to my mother’s lawn mowing skills as a bat out of hell catching air!  When I was very little my mom built my brother and I an amazing swing set… that my mother caught the front of the lawn mower on and tipped it up on its end.  Then when I was old enough to be “trusted” to mow the lawn I ran the lawn mower into a tree dead center.  I couldn’t decide which side of the tree to go on so I just gave up in the end.  All these were great for some good laughs while mowing my tiny lawn at lightning speed tonight.  I think this lawn mower will be great for our farm!
