I Really Didn’t Want To Do It

I sat here looking out the window at the sunny day. I knew I had to do it but did not want to. The forecast called to rain this afternoon, again, and I knew this would be my only change. It has been raining so much we only have had one or two days at a time that was sunny. Oh, how I dreaded having to do it. I pulled myself together and said, “It has to be done and done today. It cannot wait.” So I slipped on my shoes and gloves and hiked out to my storage shed. I unlocked the door and glared at the machine that glared back at me. “Thank goodness it’s battery powered,” I said as I rolled it out, open the lid and dropped the battery in. No yanking and pulling on a rope or fiddling to get the thing started. Just a flip of a button and away we go. Yep, I gave my lawn it’s first mowing of the year. I really wanted to wait until we had several more sunny days in the forecast so the grass would be drier. But the grass had gotten too tall to wait any longer. I planned to use the grass catcher but the grass was still wet. So I just let the grass be thrown out the side. Hopefully it will quit raining one of these days and we will have summertime.
